Data Management Plan Database

A Data Management Plan (DMP) describes how you will manage, store, secure, document, and share research data. DMPs can vary broadly across disciplines, methodologies, and data types. DMPs are a growing requirement for grants, and can also guide data practices for individuals and teams. DMP Assistant is a free webtool that guides you through drafting your DMP and the easiest way to start building a DMP.

Our database gathers examples from across the world including DMPs from the Digital Research Alliance of Canada, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Qualitative DMP Competition, DataOne, Digital Curation Centre, Liber, the Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance, and UC San Diego Research Data Curation into one searchable, open-access platform.

Improving the long-term preservability of HDF-formatted data by creating maps to file content

Original Source

DataOne

This DMP aims to create software maps in order better read and store HDF files.

Non-human data (primates)

Original Source

National Institute on Aging (NIA); Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance

This DMP aims to collect videographic data to generate cardiac physiological profiles taking into consideration behavioral and autonomic nervous system data from 500 subjects.

PRISM Data Management Plan

Original Source

UC San Diego

This data management plan is from Allan Snavely's proposal to the Strategic Technologies for Cyberinfrastructure (STCI) program.
