Plan data management
Funder requirements
Many funding agencies world-wide require a data management plan and/or data sharing as components of a grant application. Jisc provides a policy finder that can be searched by funder name to determine open data requirements.
In Canada, the Canadian Tri-Agency published a research data management policy in 2020 that outlines the agencies' overarching expectations with regard to digital research data management.
Below are the main Canadian and American granting agencies and their policies. You can find a more detailed listing on this page of McGill University’s Research Data Management Guide.
