FAIR primer

The FAIR Primer is a versatile resource for priming a project team or organization to adopt FAIR and responsible data practices. It fosters collaboration and alignment with organizational data policies with questions that stimulate debate and agency.

What is the FAIR Primer?

 

This is for anyone planning or delivering a data-rich project who is new to FAIR and responsible practices. It encourages collaborative working and engagement with organizational data policies, strategies and practice. The Primer is particularly useful as an introductory workshop on the FAIR principles and their benefits. It is also available as an interactive Miro board.

 

Each card contains a question to provoke debate, with considerations and resources, alongside case study stories that demonstrate the FAIR principles in action. Cards are themed by culture, policy, resourcing, support, and, technical.

 

The cards inspire people-first decision-making for internal teams and stakeholders, fostering individual reflection or collective engagement within meetings or workshops.

When you may want to use the FAIR Process Framework​

Data sharing agreement

 

 

The process of agreeing terms for data sharing can be uite challenging and costly. Many grantees will be unsure of how to get started. Guidance and a template can be invaluable in this process.​

Blockers

 

 

In many data-rich projects, we often assume data will flow freely among partners. But in reality, bottlenecks in data sharing can impact timelines and outcomes.

Repositories

 

 

As grantees are required to make their data assets available long after the project ends – they may be unsure about the best repository to use.

Data Management and Asset Plan (DMAP)

 

 

One key to successfully adopting FAIR and responsible data practices is having a consistent approach to data management, and that’s where the Data Management and Access Plan, or DMAP, comes in.
