This document outlines Crandall University's Research and Data Management (RDM) Strategy, developed in response to Tri-Council mandates. The plan focuses on four key steps: forming an RDM Working Group, assessing the current state of RDM at the institution, developing a comprehensive RDM policy, and implementing a sustainable RDM workflow. The strategy aims to create an environment that supports researchers in their data management practices, ensuring ethical conduct, proper data handling, and compliance with institutional standards, while also providing secure preservation and appropriate access to research data.
