Faculty: Benjamin Saracco, Digital Humanities and Socials Sciences Librarian.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn about different components of digital management plans (DMPs).
• Learn about resources available at Rowan to assist with writing better DMPs and infrastructure that may be available to meet funder requirements.
• Learn how to better manage the research lifecycle.

External funding agencies are increasingly requiring researchers to write effective Data Management Plans (DMPs) as part of their grant proposals. DMPs include information on how researchers plan to manage, store and preserve research data to meet funding agency requirements for their grant award. This workshop will guide researchers about the different components of a DMP, best practices for writing effective DMPs and introduce tools and resources available to Rowan researchers for the same. This guidance will help researchers be more effective with managing their research lifecycle and also meet external funding agency data retention and public access requirements. This workshop is open to Rowan faculty, students, and staff.
