Research Data Management Program Funding Call
CANARIE, a vital component of Canada’s digital research infrastructure (DRI) ecosystem supporting research, education and innovation, today announced two separate Calls for Proposals to fund software that supports the complete research workflow: data acquisition, storage, computation/processing, visualization, and data management.
Elements of the research workflow are common across all research disciplines. Similarly, data gathered by one researcher can be leveraged by other researchers, even in different disciplines. By supporting and promoting the re-use of software platforms and research data, public investments in science are maximized: research funding is allocated to research, rather than the development of software that already exists, and collected data can be re-used by other researchers, through interconnected and interoperable repositories and systems.
Today’s funding announcement aims to strengthen Canadian leadership in research in two ways: by funding software development aimed at the reuse of existing research software platforms, and by facilitating the reuse and management of research data.
- Research Software Program funding will support research teams who will adapt existing research platforms for re-use by new research teams.
- Research Data Management (RDM) Program funding will support collaborative interoperability and integration of data repositories and systems within Canadian and global digital research infrastructures (DRI).
Canadian research teams are invited to apply to one or both funding calls.
