Join CRDCN for a half day of free programming: (1) a research-policy nexus session; and (2) a research data management training session.

Research-policy nexus session – Johanne Provençal (Director of Research, Training and Knowledge Mobilization, CRDCN) will lead a 60-minute session that brings together local CRDCN researchers and provincial government department invitees. The session will provide an overview of CRDCN mechanisms that enable researchers and government to collaboratively address shared priorities. The session will close with an open mic that invites attendees to identify key issues for which they would welcome CRDCN-facilitated discussion among researchers and government departments.

Training session – Grant Gibson (Assistant Director, Research and Evaluation, CRDCN) will lead a 90-minute training session on restricted data discoverability for restricted data research projects. Participants will learn how to use a set of tools to make their restricted data FAIR (e.g., Sensitive Data Toolkit, university repositories and discovery services, etc.). Learners will work first-hand with these tools and become comfortable both applying them themselves and in advocating for their use by restricted data providers for greater research transparency.

In-person and online participation – While we strongly encourage in-person participation in this event, we can provide online access for those unable to attend in person.
