The Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance is committed to fostering sound data management practices to facilitate new agri-food and rural research.

To assist researchers with the development of a data management plan (DMP), the McLaughlin Library is leading a workshop to provide an overview of data management plans and discuss strategies and resources for completing a DMP.

Note: All researchers are welcome but there will be a focus on creating DMPs for projects funded by the Alliance and Food From Thought.

Register for this session (to be delivered via Microsoft Teams) by filling out the Registration Form [1]. Once registered, an invitation will be sent to you with the meeting details.

As of 2018, researchers awarded funding through the Alliance research program must complete a DMP for their awarded project(s). A DMP summarizes how data generated over the course of a research project will be stored, shared and maintained. It can help improve the effectiveness and efficiency of a research project as well as help prepare data for preservation and sharing.
