The data management concerns of a PI will largely revolve around [[Before_The_Research|planning]] and appraisal of data management for research projects - both to make sure that they conform with institutional and "funder requirements":http://researchonline.lshtm.ac.uk/208596/ and to ensure that the data management needs of the research project are met.
