The\u00a0Digital Research Alliance of Canada<\/a>\u00a0has launched calls for the Data Champions Pilot Project and the Merit Review Committee to enhance research data management (RDM) practices in Canada.<\/p>\n

The pilot project will fund \u2018Data Champions\u2019 to develop activities at the local, regional, and\/or national level that advance awareness, understanding, development, and adoption of research data management (RDM) tools, best practices, and resources in Canada. The overall aim is to promote a shift in data culture within the Canadian Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) ecosystem by promoting sound RDM practices. The funding will provide up to $50,000 CAD per applicant to a diverse cohort of researchers who will take on the role of \u2018Data Champions\u2019.<\/p>\n
