Ok, so technically this isn’t really a proper blog right now (i.e. you can’t subscribe via RSS), but this is the place you can go to see the latest major changes/updates/announcements related to data support in FGB. I also only implemented this “blog” as of 30 April 2025 and I’m not going to retroactively post previous updates, so apologies if you want to know the history of the changes to these support pages. You’ll just have to use your imagination!



2025/04/30; Jessica Hrudey Updates to FGB RDM Policy and FGB Policy Positions on the GDPR:
• Minor text adjustments to bring in-line with VU RDSM Policy v3 - primarily, addition of “software management” changing RDM to RDSM (yes, we know what it sounds like)
• Streamlining info on researcher responsibilities re: privacy agreements workflows
• Update to information on contract signing mandates/responsibilities by faculty director vs dept managers
Updates to Archiving Guidelines & Summary:
• Creation of Digitization of ICFs guidelines
