Information professionals work with researchers in a variety of settings to provide research data management expertise. RDM is essential as funding agencies, publishers and industry increasingly require data management plans, data deposition in trusted repositories, and data sharing. This 4-course, 12 credit hours graduate certificate in Research Data Management is beneficial to students already in a graduate program who want to supplement their courses with this specialization or to those who already have a graduate degree and want to learn more about research data management to enhance their careers.
