Academic Unit:
Memorial Deadline: Inquire with RGCS
External Deadline: Wednesday 20th, June 2018
Description
The ability to reuse research data supports accelerated knowledge creation, allows for reproducibility of scientific results, and maximizes return on investment of research funding. The research data management (RDM) workflow, comprising data creation, storage, access, and reuse, is supported by a range of software components and tools.
In response to a community-identified need, CANARIE’s Research Data Management program funds the development of software components and tools to enable Canadian researchers to adopt best practices in research data management.
The purpose of the program is to:
- support researchers’ ability to find, access, and reuse data that has been generated by others;
- enable the adoption of best practices and compliance with funding policy;
- align with national and international standards to facilitate broad data sharing across research institutions.
About the Call
This is CANARIE’s first call for innovation to develop software components and tools that support data management in a way that facilitates interoperability and integration with digital research infrastructure (DRI) at the national and international levels.
Under this competitive call, up to $2.7M will be contributed to the development of software components and tools for research data management.
The purpose of the call is to:
- develop DRI components that could form part of, or interoperate with, existing and emerging National Data Services Frameworks (NDSF);
- fund projects that support the FAIR Principles.
This call for proposals closes on June 20th. More detailed information on the call, including scoring criteria, FAQs and supporting documents may be found here. Additionally, interested participants are invited to attend an informational webinar to discuss and ask questions about the call.
