Dalhousie's Institutional Research Data Management Strategy documents our RDM services, supports and goals.

The Digital Research Alliance of Canada is a non-profit organization funded by the Government of Canada, that provides research data management support and training. By integrating, championing and funding the infrastructure and activities required for advanced research computing (ARC), research data management (RDM) and research software (RS), we provide the platform for the research community to access tools and services faster than ever before.
