Our trained tutors (both undergraduate and graduate students on the Homewood campus) are equipped to help you think through questions of audience and comprehensibility in the writing you do in your field and can provide valuable insight into how your assignments and class handouts are understood by your students. Appointments are available both online and in-person. For more information or to schedule, click here or contact the Director, Deirdre Vinyard [email protected].

Creating and Maintaining your Data Management Plan
Data management planning is fundamental for ensuring the quality of research and driving scientific progress, and many funders are therefore making it a mandatory requirement for applicants. But many scientists are still unsure how to go about creating one. In a survey of early-career researchers in Europe, only 25% of respondents had written a data management plan (DMP) before and another 25% did not know what a DMP was. This self-paced module will teach the structure and content of a DMP and how to set up one for your project.
