Research data management refers to the active curation of research data throughout the research lifecycle. Many funders wish to see evidence of data management in grant applications and have policies which you need to adhere to. Resources to enable good data management - such as data storage - may need to be costed at the application stage.

The University has a Research Data Management Policy which everyone conducting research should follow.
