Research Data Management

The Data Management Skillbuilding Hub is a repository for open educational resources regarding data management, meaning that it is a collection of learning resources freely contributed by anyone willing to share them.

The Alliance offers a range of training materials – everything from one-page guides to online training modules and videos – that span the research data life cycle.

With the assistance of the National Training Expert Group, the Network of Experts continues to develop new bilingual training aids and online modules to support a community of practice for research data management (RDM) in Canada.

These materials are intended for researchers, library data specialists, research data managers, and discipline and functional experts across the research data landscape. All training resources created by the Alliance are licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0 and are free to share and adapt for your own needs.
