5. What is RISE?
Self-assessment model for institutional RDM capability
Assess 21 capabilities across 10 service areas
Three levels of maturity
1.Compliance
2.Locally tailored services
3.Sector leading
n.b. ‘Right’ level is what makes sense in your institution.
Higher is not necessarily better

8. Example of one service area
Policy development
Institutional policy
articulates roles &
responsibilities for
researchers, other staff
and students to comply
with legal & regulatory
obligations and external
funders’ RDM policy
expectations
Institutional policy
articulates the value of
good RDM practice to the
institution and its rationale
for retaining data of long-
term value. Policy is
subject to a regular,
scheduled review process.
Institutional policies with a
bearing on RDM (e.g. FOI,
ethics, research conduct,
etc.) are joined up and
complementary. Policies
are externally promoted,
aiming to push the sector
forward.

9. Uptake of RISE
DCC facilitated
• Cranfield
• Stirling
• Singapore
• Northumbria
• Stockholm
• Hong Kong UST
Independently
• Cambridge
• Sussex
• 4TU Centre
• Melbourne
• Potsdam
• Leibniz Hannover
And more we are not aware of……
RISE workshop, Charles Sturt Uni, 26 Aug 2019
11. Example RISE workshop
• Convened a workshop with all
the relevant stakeholders
• In groups, performed a self-
assessment using the SPARC
online tool
• Collectively analysed and
discussed scores
• Agreed priority areas
• Fleshed out to develop roadmap
11
12. Future directions for RISE
• Develop implementation guidance based on lessons from early adopters
• Review results to abstract out data to create a knowledgebase
• Compare yourself with peer organisations
• Get tips / advice on how to improve or sustain level
• Copy the models implemented by sector leading orgs in areas you are weak
• Obtain an international picture of the state of the art to see global strengths
• Would these be useful?
• What else do you need? Hope to run workshop at
IDCC in Dublin in February

17. Making the case for RDM
www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/briefing-papers/making-case-rdm
• What will persuade people to invest?
» compliance, potential research
benefit, being innovator / leader
• What level of detail is needed?
• Who is the right person to sign off?
• Provide options to give panel more
choice to approve
RISE workshop, Charles Sturt Uni, 26 Aug 2019
18. How to deliver & sustain services?
DIY or outsource?
• Prevailing institutional culture
• Access to developers / technical
expertise
• Possibility for brokered deals,
procurement support, regional
collaborations...
• Choice that keeps options open
e.g. OS + delivery options
Cost models
• Part of core institutional
provision (overheads)
• Direct costs for research
facilities / services
• Charges on research grants
e.g. deposit fees
• Grant funding for certain
services
