Workshop description

All postgraduate researchers are required to have a Data Management Plan (DMP) in place before completing their first annual review (GRS3). This workshop will help you to achieve this by covering the basics of Research Data Management, including:

  • Identifying the different types of data you will create during your research
  • The security, sensitivity and storage considerations relating to that data
  • The FAIR data concept
  • Using the DMPOnline tool to create your DMP

If you are in receipt of funding from one of the UK Research Councils, a charity, or have commercial sponsorship, you may find it worthwhile to bring along any existing DMPs relating to the research grant award - this will aid in the development of your own DMP.  

This workshop and the Canvas course cover topics which primarily fall under domain C2 of the Research Development Framework.

Audience

This course is aimed at postgraduate researchers who are required to have a Data Management Plan in place before completing their first annual review (GRS3).
