Abstract: 

The Data Management Plan has been around since a 2011 government mandate, but sometimes it’s the part of a grant writing process that seems unwieldy. How many places do you really need to save your data? What is metadata and why do you have to use it in your project? Why is preservation of your data after the award period so important and where would you even put it? We’ll answer these questions and others as we explore the requirements and solutions of the Data Management Plan.

Audience: Faculty, Staff, Graduate Students
