Description: With the release of the Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy all Canadian post-secondary institutions and research hospitals that administer Tri-Agency funding were required to develop and post institutional research data management (RDM) strategies by March 1, 2023. As institutions finalized their strategies, they began to consider what implementation would look like. To support inter-institutional, cross-functional dialogue around implementation, a two-day, SSHRC-supported workshop was hosted at the University of Waterloo in September 2023. Over 30 institutions of varying sizes and research intensities sent cohorts representing libraries, information technology, and research offices to participate in dialogues around challenges and collaborative solutions in RDM strategy implementation. The high-level recommendations from that workshop have been released as the report Building an Inter-Institutional and Cross-Functional Research Data Management Community: From Strategy to Implementation. In this short workshop, participants will discuss the recommendations in the report and how they can be implemented in their institutions.
