In this paper, we describe the context, methods and findings of the Data Management Skills Support Initiative (‘DaMSSI’), which supported the five JISC Research Data Management Training Materials (‘RDMTrain’) projects of the JISC Managing Research Data programme (‘JISCMRD’) in developing discipline-focused postgraduate training units in research data management. The Initiative tested the effectiveness of two skills frameworks and produced a comparison and synthesis of training approaches by the RDMTrain projects. DaMSSI also assisted in the production of a number of guidance documents to raise awareness of the importance of data management in career development.
