R4R@Q - Indigenous Research, Data Sovereignty and Research Data Management

Date

Friday September 20, 2024
12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Location

Online on Teams

Sound research data management (RDM) practices are required by funding agencies worldwide. In Canada, following the launch in 2021, researchers are increasingly being asked to develop data management plans as part of grant applications and to deposit data that directly supports research conclusions into a repository.

However, the Tri-Agency policy acknowledges that research with and by Indigenous communities must be 鈥渕anaged in accordance with data management principles developed and approved by these communities鈥, which could result in exceptions to these requirements. These principles are similarly asserted in Extending the Rafters , the final report of the Queen鈥檚 Truth and Reconciliation Commission Task Force (2016). To reduce harm in this research context and ensure culturally appropriate and mutually beneficial research, researchers and research staff need to understand the use of wise RDM practices, in concept and implementation.

Presented by R4R@Q in partnership with First Nations Information Governance Centre, this panel session will explore key RDM considerations for research by and with Indigenous communities.
