Canada’s three federal research funding agencies — the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) (the agencies) — are inviting representatives of Canadian institutions to participate in a virtual engagement session on the Tri-Agency Research Data Management (RDM) Policy’s data deposit requirement.
Three sessions, one in French and two in English, will be held to accommodate as many participants as possible. Agency representatives will provide updates on the implementation of the Tri-Agency RDM Policy and on planning for the implementation of the data deposit requirement. Input on infrastructure and processes to support data retention, deposit and sharing, will be sought from attendees.
