Research Data Management (RDM)
Medicine Hat College is in the early stages of assessing and creating policies, processes, services, and resources to enable researchers to manage their research data to the highest standards and to ensure the college meets the requirements set forth by the Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy. Development of an RDM Strategy is connected to the MHC Strategic Plan 2020-2030 where collaboration on relevant research and innovation in the region is a high-level goal.
