The Library is the place to go for assistance in developing a data management plan?

With the NIH releasing their Final NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing (effective date Jan 25, 2023) and the long standing NSF policy on Data Management, researchers will need to know how to write these into their proposals. Fortunately, the University of Arizona Libraries offers Research Data Management Services. Their mission statement says:

In support of research activities at the University of Arizona, the Data Management Services team aims to be a central point of service to meet student, staff, and faculty research data management and geospatial data needs. Through our no-cost consulting services, we support compliance with funder data management plan requirements, meeting data sharing mandates, increasing research efficiency and reproducibility, assisting faculty and students with GIS software, finding and accessing data (geospatial and otherwise), and more. We also provide referrals to campus partners and resources when appropriate. Finally, via our workshops and customized training services, we aim to foster Increased knowledge and practice of good data management principles.

The University of Arizona Library supports Re-DATA, an "institutional repository for non-traditional scholarly outputs resulting from research activities by University of Arizona researchers".
