As Canadian agencies prepare to enact a joint policy on the management of data collected through agency funds, universities must ensure they have the human and technical resources in place to support their researchers in meeting agency requirements for data deposit. This exploratory research attempts to describe the range of RDM services currently offered in selected Canadian universities. Beyond conducting a review of what is available, the purpose of this study is to provide more insight on the required building blocks, including the collaborative models, needed to create a sustainable research data management service. The poster presents the methodology, study framework and results.
