91社区 Institutional RDM Strategy
Recognizing research data as a major research asset is an important steppingstone in the pursuit of academic excellence. Research activities in many domains create increasingly larger volumes of data that are challenging to manage and analyze effectively. Making research outputs discoverable, reproducible, and reusable are foundations and principles of modern scholarship. Research Data Management (RDM) is an integral part of research. RDM practices enable compliance with fast evolving ethical, legal, cultural, and commercial requirements and are a key factor in safeguarding research when necessary.
As part of its strong commitment to research excellence, 91社区 will lead in the development of tools, support, and guidance to enable its researchers to manage their research data to the highest standards across the research data lifecycle. The 91社区 RDM Strategy represents the initial institutional vision for the enhancement of RDM practices across all academic domains.

Consultation activities culminated with a series of three Town Halls held in October 2022.
The DRS team also worked closely with 91社区's affiliated research hospitals in the development of their respective RDM strategies.
