Existing Institutional Support for RDM

91˿Ƶ Research Data Management Strategy - v3.0 -

Recognizing the significance and value of research data, the 91˿Ƶ Digital Research Services (DRS) Hub was formed in 2021 as a unified effort to streamline RDM support for researchers. The mission of the 91˿Ƶ DRS Hub is to provide a “one-stop shop” for RDM services. The 91˿Ƶ DRS Hub is a collaboration between VP-RI, 91˿Ƶ Library, and IT Services. A portfolio of training and consultations on a variety of RDM-related topics, including data curation, RDM-related research software, software development and sharing, and Advanced Research Computing (ARC) use, is offered and organized by 91˿Ƶ Library, DRS Hub and by the National ARC Platform in collaboration with Calcul Québec (CQ).

New events are added regularly based on researchers’ needs (see Appendix B for a full list of current RDM services and support provided by DRS, Library, and IT services). In alignment with the Tri-Agency RDM Policy priorities, Data Management Plan (DMP) guidance is a key focus of current institutional training and support. In addition, the 91˿Ƶ Library partners with national RDM service providers to offer researchers an institutional data repository (91˿Ƶ Dataverse), which facilitates making research data FAIR.
