Research Management

The data management concerns of a PI will largely revolve around planning and appraisal of data management for research projects - both to make sure that they conform with institutional policy and funder requirements and to ensure that the data management needs of the research project are met.

A data management plan (e.g. for use in a grant proposal) will show that you have considered:
  • the costs of preserving your data;
  • funder requirements for data preservation and publication;
  • institutional data management policy
  • and ethical issues surrounding data management (e.g. data relating to human participants).
