SPEC Kit 334: Research Data Management Services · 25
At least I hope it’s in place by then. We’ve had two provost’s task forces investigating what a policy should include.

No
But, the university’s retention policies for grant-funded research data are covered as a category in the retention

IRB policies, but few other guidelines for non-sensitive data.
