Data Management in Health Research: You're funded but are you FAIR?

This 2-day event will run on Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th April 2020 University College Cork.

Background:

Research funding is evolving and the onus now rests on primary researchers to plan the collection and curation of research data with a view to maximise its availability, together with the software and materials that underpin it.

From the 1st January 2020, data gathered and generated in whole or in part from Health Research Board (HRB) funded research will subject to the HRB policy on Management and Sharing of Research Data.

Target audience:

Day 1 - Symposium: Research leaders, PIs and post-docs currently, or actively seeking, grants funded by the HRB.

Day 2 - Workshop: Researchers actively engaged with data collection, curation and management as part of HRB-funded research.

Aims:

Day 1 - To provide an overview of HRB policy, hear from researchers currently engaged in HRB-funded research and to hear from researchers already benefiting from adoption of improved data management policies in their own organisation(s).

Day 2 - To provide guidance to researchers tasked with employing data management protocols. Instruction will be given on both quantitative and qualitative data types through the lens of the FAIR data principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-usable).
