The data management concerns of a PI will largely revolve around [[Before_The_Research|planning]] and appraisal of data management for research projects: to make sure that they conform with [[Research_data_policies|institutional policy]] and [[Research_Council_Requirements|funder requirements]]; and to ensure that the data management needs of the research project are met.
