Data Management, Planning and Grants

The Canadian Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy, released early in 2021, introduced new requirements for researchers applying for grants from CIHR, SSHRC, and NSERC.

This workshop covers these new requirements, teaches you about the most important elements of a data management plan, and discuss data sharing and archiving. This workshop will also introduce a new Western-customized assistant for writing Data Management Plans that will help you choose the most appropriate, locally supported technologies.

Session Outcomes:

• Learn the basics of data management
• Use data management to strengthen grant applications
• Elements of a data management plan
• Tools and supports for data management at Western
