To the Canadian RDM Community,

 

We are launching a new project within the Alliance’s Research Intelligence Expert Group (RIEG) to evaluate the state of FAIR and CARE Principle implementations by data repositories in Canada. We intend to reveal implementation progress thus far, plus opportunities and challenges going forward. We are seeking additional research team members for this effort. It is anticipated that the activity will take approximately one year to complete (by July 2025). 

 

If you have skills in conducting surveys and interviews, FAIR and CARE expertise, and knowledge about research data management or data repository infrastructures, we’d be keen to have you on board. We will evaluate responses for expertise and diversity (geography, organizational types, roles), and let respondents know the outcome in early September. 

 

Please submit a response to the google form (https://forms.gle/E5wWQzyMev4ib1727) to indicate your interest and rationale for wanting to participate by August 28, 2024. 

Existing team members: 

  • Reyna Jenkyns (World Data System International Technology Office)

  • Laurence Horton (Digital Curation Center)

  • Minglu Wang (York University)
