Who are our Data Champions, and how do they advocate for best practice in data management? Based throughout our study sites, RESPIRE's Data Champions enable research teams to maintain the highest standards of data management. They implement best practice, facilitate the sharing of structured and anonymised data, and actively participate in activities to ensure compliance, while collaborating with other Data Champions to identify and resolve challenges. They also engage in cross-learning to share expertise and exchange best practices to broaden the collective understanding of data management and open science.
