Research Data Management (RDM) Resources

Access curated tools and frameworks to support ethical, inclusive, and accessible research data practices. These resources are designed to help researchers integrate equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (EDIA) principles into all stages of data management.

EDI and Accessibility in Data Management


  • A framework focused on ethical data governance, community engagement, and protection of sensitive data.

  • Practical guidance and tools for incorporating diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility into data practices.

Indigenous Research Data Management

These resources highlight principles and approaches that respect Indigenous data sovereignty, governance, and ethical research practices.


  • Focuses on Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession of First Nations data.

  • A strategic framework for Inuit-led and Inuit-centered research.

  • A Métis-focused approach to ethical data governance and stewardship.

Learning Resources and Webinars

Citational Politics and Practice Resources

Citational Politics & EDI Resources

Citational politics examines how knowledge is referenced and whose voices are amplified in research. Citation practices are not neutral; they shape knowledge production, reinforce disciplinary norms, and can contribute to systemic inequities if not approached critically. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Applying an equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) lens involves intentionally engaging with diverse sources, questioning dominant narratives, and ensuring representation of equity-deserving scholars in your work.

Research Design Resource Library

The is a living database for resources pertaining to:

  • Theoretical frameworks
  • Methods
  • Knowledge mobilization/translation planning
  • Data management planning
  • Research ethics

These resources can be searched using keywords related to discipline, identity groups, etc.

The Tri-Agency defines equity, diversity, and inclusion in research design as "considering the use of EDI approaches in the overall design of the research . . . , as applicable—e.g., research questions, methods, theoretical frameworks, literature reviews, analyses and interpretations, and knowledge mobilization activities— . . . because it can reveal complexities surrounding the lived experiences and histories of different groups and individuals who could be affected by the findings. EDI may be incorporated in different ways, such as through intersectional analysis, gender-based analysis plus (GBA+), anti-racist, anti-ableist, anti-homophobic, etc. approaches, and disaggregated data collection. The purpose of an EDI approach to research design is to promote rigorous research that considers identity factors, to ensure that the results are impactful and relevant to the diversity of the Canadian population.

Put simply, applying equity, diversity, and inclusion to the design of your research project means considering the existing biases and barriers within your entire research process from questions to dissemination and mitigating them.
