Data Management Plans
Inventory & Monitoring Program
Original intent of the plans
• Develop a systemized approach for:– Keeping data safe– Keeping data usable into the future– Documenting procedures for data
continuity
• Figure out just what the heck we were supposed to be doing.
Inventory & Monitoring Program
• Every network has produced a plan
• National-level plan now in place
Inventory & Monitoring Program
Five-year review and revision for first 12 networks approaching in 2010.
Do we want to change the approach?
How can we keep a plan current and relevant? (i.e., reflect reality)
How can we keep it manageable and realistic to maintain?
Inventory & Monitoring Program
Survey this summer on DM Plans
• Solicit ideas and recommendations from network staff (including biotechs, coordinators, others)
• Determine: who uses plans or SOPs? How? • What’s working and not working?• Are they no longer plans and are now
something else? • Would SharePoint be a good tool to use?
We need a new model.
Inventory & Monitoring Program
“Audits”Review data management methods and activities
Ensure adequate and effective data management procedures are in place and are performed.
Keep divergence within bounds
Inventory & Monitoring Program
Make sure fundamental activities are practiced
Benchmarks determined by data managers
1. Survey Data Managers for ideas and opinions
2. Determine common denominators
3. Establish draft benchmarks and audit process
4. Solicit comments
5. Finalize
6. Set audit schedule

Finally…
• New or different tools and techniques for data managers
• SharePoint, blogs, wikis, webinars, others?
• More formalized orientation and mentoring process for new data managers
• Exploit and share individual areas of expertise
