Research Data Onboarding: Procedures for Research Consistency

Fall 2023 Research Data Management Seminar Series

Research Data Management is essential for responsible research and should be introduced when starting a new project or joining a new lab. Managing data across a project and/ or a team allows for accurate communication about that project.

This session will review the important steps for onboarding new employees/trainees to a lab or new projects. The key takeaway from this session will be how to incorporate these steps within your individual project or lab environment. We will be focusing on the RDM Onboarding Checklist tailored for Harvard researchers. While the principles are general, we will focus on Harvard policies and resources.
