Research Data Management Organizer

RDMO

RDMO stands for Research Data Management Organizer – a tool that allows creating custom data management plans for your research projects based on specific parameters. Among other things, the tool can help ensure compliance with rules stipulated by third-party funding providers. The RDMO is useful for structured planning and implementation, and for organizing the handling of research data for academic projects. Use of the RDMO is particularly recommended for large-scale research projects with many different participants, requiring major coordination to manage research data.

The University of Bonn has its own standalone RDMO software for use by faculty and graduate students.
