The UTM Safe Travels Pilot Program was developed to help U of T faculty and staff safeguard U of T data when traveling abroad. The pilot program includes a pre-travel security consultation and laptop loan program.
Ontario Data Documentation, Extraction Service and Infrastructure <odesi> is a digital repository for social science data, including polling data. It is a web-based data exploration, extraction and analysis tool that uses the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) social science data standard. <odesi> provides researchers the ability to search for survey questions (variables) across thousands of datasets. There are both microdata and aggregate data available, in a range of formats.
U of T Dataverse is a multi-disciplinary repository open to U of T researchers to deposit and share research data. It can also be used to discover and reuse data produced by other researchers. Deposited datasets receive DOIs. Files are held in a secure environment on Canadian servers.
The Map and Data Library offers a rich and diverse set of supports and services related to maps, datasets, microdata, data visualization, statistics, geospatial data portals, research data management, and more.
TSpace is an open access research repository established by University of Toronto Libraries to disseminate and preserve the scholarly record of the University of Toronto community, including faculty and graduate student research.
The BRU is a collaborative team of experienced statisticians providing biostatistical guidance to affiliated researchers throughout the life cycle of a project.

This document provides a comparison of REDCap and Microsoft Form features, and provides suggestions about appropriate use cases.
This information video describes the use of data repositories for long-term storage and sharing of research data. The video discusses U of T Dataverse and TSpace and provides resources for identifying external repositories.
The Alliance serves Canadian researchers, with the objective of advancing Canada’s position as a leader in the knowledge economy on the international stage. By integrating, championing and funding the infrastructure and activities required for advanced research computing (ARC), research data management (RDM) and research software (RS), the Alliance provides the platform for the research community to access tools and services.
FRDR is a platform for digital Research Data Management (RDM) and a robust repository option into which large research datasets can be ingested, curated, processed for preservation, discovered, cited, and shared.
U of T Library’s Digital Preservation and Recovery Service offers tools and services to manage digital content, such as digital preservation, data recovery or media carrier preservation, and more.
DMP Assistant is an all-purpose tool for preparing data management plans (DMPs). Researchers will be guided through best practices in data stewardship. The tool walks researchers step-by-step through a number of key questions about data management. Guidance and examples are provided.
Re3data is a global registry of research data repositories that covers research data repositories from different academic disciplines. It includes repositories that enable permanent storage of and access to data sets to researchers, funding bodies, publishers, and scholarly institutions.
Principles of ownership, control, access, and possession (OCAP®) assert that First Nations have control over data collection processes, and own and control how this information can be used. The First Nations Information Governance Centre offers education and training to help understand and respect OCAP®.
