Existing Institutional Support for RDM

51ԹResearch Data Management Strategy - v3.0 -

Recognizing the significance and value of research data, the 51ԹDigital Research Services (DRS) Hub was formed in 2021 as a unified effort to streamline RDM support for researchers. The mission of the 51ԹDRS Hub is to provide a “one-stop shop” for RDM services. The 51ԹDRS Hub is a collaboration between VP-RI, 51ԹLibrary, 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 51ԹLibrary, 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 51ԹLibrary partners with national RDM service providers to offer researchers an institutional data repository (51Թ Dataverse), which facilitates making research data FAIR.
