Data Management Plans for Health Sciences Research – Oct. 10, 2024

Session Description

October 10 2024 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

The Conversations on Research Data Management in Health Sciences series brings together the University of Toronto tri-campus and Toronto Academic Health Sciences Network (TAHSN) health sciences research community for facilitated conversations about research data management (RDM). Using a peer-to-peer approach, this series aims to increase researchers’ capacity to navigate the complex and changing RDM landscape in health sciences research. 

The first session of the series will focus on Data Management Plans (DMPs), an increasingly vital tool for managing data throughout the research life cycleenhancing collaboration between researchers, promoting data sharing and reuse, and importantlymeeting funder requirements. The session will consist of a panel discussion with health sciences researchers on successes, challenges, and strategies for developing high-quality DMPs, followed by audience Q&A.

Featured Presenters: 

  • Dr. Victoria Hodgkinson, Executive Director, Canadian Neuromuscular Disease Registry
  • Dr. Denise Mak, Director of Data Science & Innovation, GEMINI
  • Dr. Trevor Pugh, Professor, Department of Medical Biophysics & Senior Scientist, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre

Intended audience:  

  • University of Toronto campus-based and TAHSN hospital-based health sciences faculty researchers and their teams

Learning Objectives

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:  

  • Recognize the benefits and challenges associated with creating DMPs in the context of health sciences research
  • Identify strategies and tools for developing, implementing, and monitoring robust DMPs 
  • Apply knowledge to strengthen current DMP practices  

Additional Information

Researchers can expect a greater number of Canadian federal funding competitions to require a DMP as part of the grant proposal and evaluation criteria, as outlined in the 2021 Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy. In this session, researchers will have the opportunity to learn from peers who have developed DMPs for successful grant applications in Canada and internationally. Sharing this knowledge and experience will benefit novice and experienced researchers alike.
