  2. Introduction • Support project for JISC Research Data Management Training Materials (RDMTrain) programme strand • Agreement needed on what constitutes a basic set of postgraduate data management skills • Consistent descriptions of skills • Framework that supports progression of skills over time • Two recently developed models may be able to help: • Vitae’s Researcher Development Framework • ‘research lens’ for SCONUL’s Seven Pillars model • Testing usefulness of models for planning data management training

  3. Key work areas • Support for RDMTrain projects in using the models to provide consistent training output descriptions • Mapping of projects’ training materials to identify generic/discipline-specific skills • Comparison/synthesis of mappings from the projects • Recommendations for Vitae and SCONUL • Guidance through case studies and career profiles • Recommendations for professional bodies and LIS course providers

  4. Progress to date • Site visits to the five projects completed • Followed up with initial mappings of training outputs to Researcher Development Framework and Seven Pillars • Initial observations on models: • Have definite potential to be useful for engaging with institutional CPD training providers • May be useful in developing module outlines • Will benefit from further detail on data management skills • Projects’ training outputs have mapped well to at least one of the frameworks

  5. Challenges and solutions • Engaging with projects and encouraging use of models • Site visits, performing initial mappings • Understanding and utilising the models • RIN information-handling group work with Vitae, research lens for Seven Pillars • Encouraging Vitae and SCONUL to act on recommendations • Involvement of Vitae and SCONUL in DaMSSI, timely feedback • Fostering communications with professional bodies and LIS course providers • Links through projects, career profiles, communications with CILIP

  6. Longer term implications and activities • Researcher career development models will incorporate data management skills • Generic and discipline-specific data management skills will be clarified • Engagement with professional bodies will be initiated • Engagement with LIS course providers will be initiated
