Shape the Future of RDM at McMaster

Make your research data management needs known.

McMaster University’s RDM team is currently collecting feedback on the draft Research Data Management Institutional Strategy.

This document is a major step towards formalizing McMaster’s commitment to RDM best practices, which ensure that research data is collected, managed, and disseminated in ways that respect and serve the needs of researchers and research participants at McMaster.

Help shape the future of RDM at the university by attending a Town Hall on November 24, making your needs known at a series of specific focus groups, and completing an anonymous survey.
