The researcher will make the actual data management plan after a positive funding decision. The plan must be submitted to the Research Council’s SARA system within eight weeks of the funding decision. According to the University of Helsinki's practice, Data Support will check the data management plans before they are submitted to the Research Council. During the preparation of the DMP, Data Support also organizes DMP workshops and provides personal counselling sessions for the preparation of DMPs.
Data Support will be in direct contact with researchers who have received a positive funding decision and will provide detailed guidance as soon as the decision has been taken by the Research Council of Finland.
Data Support checks the data management plans submitted to funders and provides advice to those preparing data management plans. Data Support receives information on EU fundings from the UH Research Services and will be in direct contact with funded researchers and provide detailed guidance. Data Support also attends project kick-off events on request and provides information on data management planning [linkki kalvoihin].
