Research Data Management (RDM) refers to the processes applied throughout the life cycle of a research project to guide the collection, documentation, storage, sharing, and preservation of research data.

RDM practices cover the entire lifecycle of the data, from planning the investigation to conducting it, and from backing up data as it is created and used, to long-term preservation of data deliverables after the research investigation has concluded.

Researchers should review the Tri-Agency RDM Policy.
