Decades of publicly funded Canadian research are at risk of turning to dust on aging hard drives, prompting the Tri-Agency to implement a strict new data management blueprint to stop this silent drain of knowledge. This episode breaks down the mandatory Data Management Plans and institutional responsibilities required to keep your grant funding secure, while dispelling the myth that researchers are forced to share sensitive data with the world. We also explore the critical exception of Indigenous data sovereignty and how models like OCAP ensure community-led data governance and the right to repatriation.
