The Australian Research Data Common (ARDC) Institutional Underpinnings (IU) program aims to develop a jointly-agreed framework for Research Data Management (RDM) practices. As part of this program, Bond University, University of New South Wales and University of Sydney have developed and pilot tested a Principles Aligned Institutionally-Contextualised (PAI-C) RDM introductory educational/training experience for Higher Degree Research (HDR) candidates. The PAI-C educational/training experience espouses the IU RDM framework principles (e.g. sharing data safely), and is contextualised based on the respective university’s policies, systems and processes. The PAI-C experience aims to raise HDR candidates’ awareness of RDM best practices to a common baseline, which would facilitate cross-institutional management of data (e.g. having common RDM expectations when moving between institutions).
This presentation will (1) outline the design and development of the PAI-C experience, which has been informed by previous successful RDM training programs (Chew, Oo & Wong, 2021; Oo, Chew, Wong, Gladding, & Stenstrom, 2021); and (2) share the survey and focus group findings from the pilot testing of the PAI-C educational/training experience at the three universities.
