Research Data Management Support

IBB PAS provides support in research data management for staff and doctoral students.

We offer assistance with the following issues:

– selection of datasets to be shared openly from a research project,

– selection of an appropriate database / repository for the data,

– determining the legal status of the data,

– decisions on data licensing,

– preparation of a research data management plan for a grant application, as well as its modification during the project and reporting on the implementation of the plan.

Please feel free to contact me:

1. Helpsheet meant to support the preparation of a Data Management Plan (DMP) for a research project (document in English):

IBB-DMP-HelpSheet-2025-v2

The document is structured in accordance with the scheme used by the National Science Center (NCN). Since NCN requires the DMP only in English, only an English-language version has been prepared. The document uses examples typical for research projects submitted at IBB PAS – if you have a special situation in your project (non-typical data, patient data, complicated legal situation of the data, etc.), you are welcome to contact me directly.
