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.

University of Massachusetts Amherst; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP investigates Afro-descendant movement in Latin America and subsequent self-determined collectives using participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and participatory workshops.
Bard Graduate Center; Open Anthropology Research Repository
This DMP aims to collect digitized materials, fonts, search algorithms, and software. The digitized materials will consist of historical and recent photographs, newspaper clippings, sound recordings, video clips, interviews, published essays, narratives, and songs.
Louisiana State University; Open Anthropology Research Repository
This DMP aims to collect coastal hazard data, GIS shape files and data, social-economic data, and demographic data. This data will be used for investigating population changes in a vulnerable coastal environment.
National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Human Genome Research Institute Home (NHGRI)

This is a sample data management plan from the NIH, intended for submission to the NHGRI, that provides an outline for a project involving human genomic and clinical data.

Temple University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect audio recordings, surveys, and observations to revitalize and endangered language.
Portland State University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect linguistic and developmental data to determine how phonological learning and bilingualism impacts development.
National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)
This is an example of a data management plan from the NIH, intended to collect anthropologic and public policy data from surveys and interviews.
University of Oregon; Qualitative Data Management Plan (DMP) Competition
This DMP aims to digitize data and create a database of semantics, lexicon, and morphemes to preserve the Nuu-wee-ya' language.
University of Arizona; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP will use longitudinal speech data of cancer survivors from another study to develop a Machine Learning model that can increase participant compliance with health lifestyle habits.
