Thanks Stuart,
We did a survey and interviews a while back which were very useful. We have been meeting with EPSRC award holders in particular more recently.
We are hoping to host some kind of get together/workshop soon on RDM so maybe sharing issues found might be a useful part of that.
Maybe catch a chat with you re this next week when we are over with you.
List - yes we will advertise any workshops or meetings we arrange via this dist list.

Subject: EPSRC Expectations Awareness Survey
Dear All,
As many of you will already know EPSRC set out its research data management (RDM) expectations for institutions in receipt of EPSRC grant funding in April 2012, this included the development of an institutional ‘Roadmap’. EPSRC assessment of compliance with these expectations will begin on 1 May 2015 for research outputs published on or after that date.
In order to comply with EPSRC expectations and to implement the University’s RDM Policy, the University of Edinburgh has invested significantly in RDM services, infrastructure (incl. storage and
security) and support as detailed in the University of Edinburgh’s RDM Roadmap.
In an effort to gauge the University of Edinburgh’s ‘readiness’ in relation to EPSRC’s RDM expectations, we are conducting a short survey of our EPSRC grant holders.
The survey aims to find out more about researcher awareness of those expectations concerning the management and provision of access to EPSRC-funded research data as detailed in the EPSRC Policy Framework on Research Data (http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/about/standards/researchdata/).
We aim to conduct follow-up interviews with EPSRC grant holders who are willing to talk through these issues in a bit more detail to help shape the development of the RDM services at the University of Edinburgh.
We will endeavour to make available some of our findings shortly. In the meantime, if you want to use or refer to our survey we have posted a ‘demo’version below:

Should you decide to make use of our survey, let us know, as we can potentially share our data with each other to benchmark our progress.
As an aside Oxford University have crafted a useful data decision tree for EPSRC-funded researchers at Oxford.
