JISCMRD Aims and Challenges
a) to address a strategic requirement for UK HE to improve its research data management capability and better to understand how this may be achieved, and b) to encourage the wider reuse and repurposing of research data for the further advancement of research.
Planning: There is little institutional support for funders requirements: how do I create an effective data management plan and how do I put it into action?
Infrastructure: There is little effective infrastructure: storage, sharing and management tools are ad hoc.
Support and Training: How well are researchers being prepared for data sharing? Help in meeting funders, institutions requirements?
Incentives and Benefits: Why should I put effort into the data? What recognition and reward will I get for publishing 'my' data? Effective links between publications and data? Effective citation for data and inclusion in metrics?

Recording and summary of the webinar, slides.
Covers the strategic, policy drivers; outputs available from the JISC
MRD Programme.
What people said:
– "I have an irrational loathing for the word 'webinar'.”
– "Phew! A lot of projects/resources to check out from #jiscmrd #jiscwebinar
Sometimes these synthesis talks scare me! ;-)”
– "a bit like drinking from a firehose! Useful stuff though."
Grant Funding Call 07/11 Strands
A(1): Institutional Research Data Management Infrastructure
– Start-up projects to help institutions that are at an early stage of
developing a research data management infrastructure
A(2): Institutional Research Data Management Infrastructure

Strand C: Data Management Plans and Support
Integrated Research Data Management Planning Tools.
Projects to customise the DCC’s DMP Online tool for institutional use
and ensuring interoperability with institutional grant costing and
research information management systems.
Aims to help universities make best use of the DCC’s DMPonline tool.

Institutional Repository
Strand C: Data Management Plans and Support
Customisations of the DCC DMP Online tool:
– Skins, guidance and supporting documentation.
– Templates and customisations to meet specific departmental, institutional
needs.
Interoperation with local systems:
– Exchange of structured information with…
– e.g. pre-grant award systems, research information management systems,
RDM systems, IRs.
Strand C: Data Management Plans and Support
Customisations should be consonant with objective for DMP Online as
a cloud-based national infrastructure / service.
Technical challenge of ensuring interoperation between a cloud
service and local systems.
Requires very close coordination / cooperation with the DCC.
Customisations should not lead to stand along instances unless there
is an extremely strong case.
