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 policy":http://www.arcs.qmul.ac.uk/policy_zone/index.html#research and "funder requirements":http://researchonline.lshtm.ac.uk/208596/ and to ensure that the data management needs of the research project are met.
