NCSU Libraries Data Management Support


Colleagues, I received this from the NCSU Libraries. This service the Libraries will provide will be very helpful to our researchers as these data management requirements become more pervasive across all funders. Please take advantage of the services the Libraries have to offer!


Many funding agencies have research data management and sharing policies requiring researchers to include data management plans with their grant proposals.  

The NCSU Libraries provides free guidance to NC State faculty, staff, post-docs, and students on creating and implementing data management plans.  Our consultation includes reviewing and providing advice on documenting data types and standards for data description, identifying options for short-term storage and long-term preservation, sharing and access considerations, policies for re-use and re-distribution, and defining responsibilities for carrying out the data management plan.  


As a starting point, visit the NCSU Data Management Planning guide:  http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/guides/datamanagement/  

If you or your colleagues are interested in one-on-one consultation or a group workshop, please let us know.  We'd be happy to customize a presentation or a hands-on workshop to meet your needs.
