Your research is important. The Libraries are here to ensure you have well-managed and compliant data.
Data Management
Gathering data for your research is only one part of the research puzzle! Effective data management is another key piece that means your data is organized, stored, and stable. Some funders have specific requirements, while others allow the researcher to decide how to manage research data.
No matter your circumstance, our Research Data Services team can help you:
- understand funder requirements
- create a data management plan
- choose a repository to store your data, and more.
What We Do
Data Management Plan
A Data Management Plan (DPM) is a document that outlines how you will manage your research data throughout the lifecycle of your project. Many grants require a DMP to apply for funding.
Get help writing your Data Management Plan with the Libraries data experts.
Data Curation
We get it: data curation is a time-consuming exercise! Let us ease that pressure and save you time. A data curation consultation can help ensure you have organized, preserved, and accessible research data for current use and future discovery. Schedule an appointment for a personalized consultation.
DMPTool Support
DMPTool is a Dartmouth supported online resource designed to simplify creating data management plans.
