JIBC has developed a suite of six policies and 22 procedures to support the strategic research plan and to accomplish research goals. They provide the framework and direction for research undertaken by JIBC.
All JIBC policies and procedures can be found on the Policies & Procedures page of this website. A printable list of JIBC Research Policies and Procedures is also available.

Research Data Management Strategy
The purpose of this Research Data Management (RDM) Strategy is to ensure that research data is preserved, kept secure and made accessible. In March 2021 the Canadian Tri-Agencies released the Tri-Agency Research Data Management (RDM) Policy (the Policy). The objective of the Policy is to support Canadian research excellence by promoting sound RDM and data stewardship practices.
All post-secondary institutions eligible to administer Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) funds are required to create an institutional RDM strategy. Institutional RDM Strategies must be publicly available by March 1, 2023, on the institution’s website. The website must include contact information to which inquiries about the strategy can be directed.
Representatives from the Centre for Research, Innovation & Scholarship, the Library, and Technology Services formed the JIBC Research Data Management Working Group. The RDM Working Group conducted a preliminary assessment of institutional services and data management capacity and developed a plan to meet current and future requirements to comply with the Policy.
JIBC's Library has created a Library Guide on Research Data Management for researchers to explore best practices to satisfy grant funding and publisher requirements, create efficient workflows for projects, and help other users of the data interpret your JIBC research.
