 for different steps in project exploration and creation.&nbsp;Also in this webinar a geology researcher using GIS techniques and collecting geospatial data will explain how she communicated her use of best practices through a data management plan for a successfully
 funded NSF grant.&nbsp; Attendees will understand the importance of well written data management plans, how to put those plans into action through implementing data management planning and reproducible research best practices, and how library engagement can help
 with data management planning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
