The JISC funded RDMRose project (June 2012-May 2013) was a collaboration between the libraries of the University of Leeds, Sheffield and York, with the Information School at Sheffield to provide an Open Educational Resource for information professionals on Research Data Management.
SEAD is an NSF-sponsored project to create data services designed to meet the needs of sustainability science research. Sustainability science requires reliable cyberinfrastructure and an enhanced ability to manage, integrate, interpret, share, curate, and preserve data across a broad range of physical and social science disciplines.
Research projects need more concrete guidance to analyze and assess the processes of RDM. The goal of this document is to present the first steps towards development of such a model, in the form of a Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for RDM.

RCI offers UC San Diego researchers the computing, network, and human infrastructure needed to create, manage, and share data. Principal investigators are encouraged to use the campus's RCI in addressing federal sponsors' existing and new data management requirements. SDSC's favorable pricing can help researchers justify costs associated with data generation and management—costs that are increasingly included in proposal budgets.
