The New England Collaborative Data Management Curriculum (NECDMC) is an educational initiative aimed at providing best practices in research data management, developed through a collaboration involving various educational institutions. The curriculum has undergone multiple phases, including planning, content development, and local piloting, with the goal of enhancing data management education across libraries and universities. The initiative includes assessments, feedback loops, and outreach efforts to ensure effective implementation and continuous improvement in research data management practices.
