  2. Background / Context • Recognised need for UK Higher Education Institutions to improve their research data management capability. • Increasing recognition of the potential of research data reuse, integration; particularly in grand challenge and cross-disciplinary areas. • Public good is served by making the outputs, including data, of publicly funded research available for reuse with as few restrictions as possible. • Research funders policies. • Research integrity is served by making the evidence for research conclusions available. • UKRIO, FoI • Considerable international activity in this area (particularly in Australia and the US, increasingly in Europe); important for UK to retain competitive advantage.

  3. JISC Activities • Digital Infrastructure Portfolio: develop a national infrastructure that supports the requirements of research and learning. • Research Management Programmes: support the development and embedding of more effective systems and practices for managing research activity and outputs. • Managing Research Data Programme: improve research data management capability in UK HEIs specifically by: • Developing infrastructures (inc RDM systems, data repositories, storage) • Encouraging institutional RDM policies (e.g. University of Edinburgh RDM Policy http://bit.ly/edinburgh-RDM-policy) • Increasing support and guidance capacity.

  8. Friday 1 July 2011 Managing Research Data Programme 2011-13, Information Day • Strand A(1&2): Institutional Research Data Management Infrastructure • JISCMRD Programme 2011-13 Grant Funding Call 07/11

  9. Strand A(1): Start Up Projects • Start-up projects to help institutions that are at an early stage of developing a RDM infrastructure. • Projects should scope and develop a pilot RDM infrastructure. • Aims to encourage and facilitate the development of pilot RDM infrastructures, including supporting policies and procedures, in universities that are at a very early stage of development in this area and do not have an existing pilot in place.

  10. Strand A(2): Embedding Projects • Embedding projects to help institutions enhance and extend an existing pilot RDM infrastructure. • Projects should build on an existing pilot RDM infrastructure. • Aims to encourage and enable universities which have already started developing an RDM infrastructure to extend existing pilots and develop a robust structure of supporting policies and guidance.

  11. Which Strand? Partnerships? • State clearly which strand and provide evidence for this choice. • Determined by the role of the lead institution in any partnership. • Partnerships with HEIs outside England, data centres/archives, commercial or charitable organisations encouraged where they benefit project; must show evidence of this. • Examples: partnerships to transfer expertise; partnership to extend and embed a discipline-focused RDM solution across a number of institutions… etc.

  12. Strand A(1&2):What does an RDM Infrastructure look like? • Broad and holistic definition, likely to include: • Systems for research data capture • Systems to support RDM • Systems and processes for releasing research data to a target repository/archive (IR, national or international data archive as appropriate) • Guidance and support for all of these stages • Institutional RDM policy • See para 38; and 39-43.

  13. Strand A(1&2): Favoured Solutions/Approaches • Where possible and appropriate implement and build on existing work/solutions from JISCMRD Programme and elsewhere: • Guidance and planning tools from DCC, UKDA and other centres of expertise (e.g. data centres, ANDS). • Outputs (reports, guidance, RDM platforms etc) from previous JISCMRD projects and/or other existing solutions and materials. • SWORD2 for deposit. • DataCiteDOIs to identify datasets. • For JISCMRD outputs see: http://bit.ly/jiscmrd-outputs

  14. Strand A(1) Deliverables • Deliverables for Strand A(1) see para45. • Requirements analysis (a) • Implementation plan (b) • Implementation of an RDM infrastructure (broadly defined) (c-f) • Develop and propose high-level institutional RDM policy (g) • Present business plan for sustainability; provide cost information (h, 43) • Cooperation with and feedback to DCC (i-j)

  18. Friday 1 July 2011 Managing Research Data Programme 2011-13, Information Day • Strand B: Research Data Management Planning for Projects or Departments • JISCMRD Programme 2011-13 Grant Funding Call 07/11

  19. Strand B: Data Management Plans and Support • Research Data Management Planning for Projects or Departments. • Projects to design and implement research data management plans for specific projects/departments with supporting systems and tools. • Aims to help research groups/projects/departments fulfil disciplinary best practice and the requirements of research funders.

  20. Strand B: Data Management Plans and Support • Aims to improve practice on the ground and provide infrastructure (systems, processes, support) to enable research projects/departments/centres to develop and implement data management plans. • Strand A targets institutions and has ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ elements. • Strand B targets groups/departments etc and is more ‘bottom-up’.

  21. Strand B: Data Management Plans and Support • Assess requirements for plan. • Develop plan. • Implement a system and infrastructure to support execution: • System and infrastructure are broadly defined, covering bespoke RDM environments, collaborative research environments, structured shared file systems. • Covers human and/or technical support for RDM processes; guidance, procedures, policies, resources. • Support for version control, access control, appraisal and retention, managing embargoes or discard.

  22. Strand B: Data Management Plans and Support • Aims to provide examples, case studies, reusable data management plans and supporting systems. • Intention to fund a broad variety of projects: • Representative spread of disciplines. • Range of solutions (mix of hard and soft, technical and human systems). • Diversity of project sizes. • Encourage partnerships within institutions, or with external bodies (e.g. data centres/archives) where appropriate. • Build on and implement DCC guidance; see approach and outputs of: ERIM, ESRC-DMP, HALOGEN and DMBI projects http://bit.ly/jiscmrd-outputs

  23. Strand B: Evidence for Proposals • Clear vision for the project, roles and methodology (requirements gathering, design, development and implementation). • Clear and realistic plan for delivery in the short, 6 month, timescale. • Clear articulation of milestones and deliverables (see para. 53). • Project staff should be in place; sufficient resource for implementation and development. • Evidence of appropriate partnerships and expertise.

  24. Friday 1 July 2011 Managing Research Data Programme 2011-13, Information Day • Strand C: Integrated Research Data Management Planning Tools • JISCMRD Programme 2011-13 Grant Funding Call 07/11

  25. Strand C: Data Management Plans and Support • Integrated Research Data Management Planning Tools. • Projects to customise the DCC’s DMP Online tool for institutional use and ensuring interoperability with institutional grant costing and research information management systems. • Aims to help universities make best use of the DCC’sDMPonline tool.

  26. Strand C: Data Management Plans and Support

  27. Strand C: Data Management Plans and Support • Customisations of the DCC DMP Online tool: • Skins, guidance and supporting documentation. • Templates and customisations to meet specific departmental, institutional needs. • Interoperation with local systems: • Exchange of structured information with… • e.g. pre-grant award systems, research information management systems, RDM systems, IRs.

  28. Strand C: Data Management Plans and Support • Customisations should be consonant with objective for DMP Online as a cloud-based national infrastructure / service. • Technical challenge of ensuring interoperation between a cloud service and local systems. • Requires very close coordination / cooperation with the DCC. • Customisations should not lead to stand along instances unless there is an extremely strong case.

  29. Strand C: Evidence for Proposals • Engagement and sharing of plans with DCC. • Steering committee with high level support. • Engagement of necessary institutional stakeholders (research grant administration, ethics approval and research support office, research information management, IR etc). • Clear vision for the project, roles and methodology (requirements gathering, design, development and implementation). • Clear and realistic plan for delivery 12 month timescale. • Clear articulation of milestones and deliverables (see para. 60). • Sufficient resource for implementation and development.
