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.

Advanced Biometrics: Heavy Metals in Estuarine Copepods

Original Source

N/A; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance

This DMP aims to collect meteorological, physiochemical, environmental, and copepod population data to determine the effect of heavy metal on Estuarine Copepods.

Arthropod responses to grassland nutrient limitation

Original Source

DataOne

This DMP aims to collect data to investigate the effect nutrient limitation in grasslands on arthropod community diversity and growth levels.

Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations, Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii, 2011-2013

Original Source

DataOne

This DMP aims to collect data on the CO2 concentrations present in the air on Mauna Lao, a remote island observatory.

Biosignature Suites: Using Connections between Microbes and Minerals to understand Biogenic Carbonates

Original Source

University of New Mexico; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance

This DMP aims to collect samples from the field to better understand biogenic carbonates through investigating microbes and minerals.

CAREER: Probing Function in Paramagnetic Sodium Electrodes

Original Source

University of California, Santa Barbara; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance

This DMP will collect compositional, electrochemical property, and structural data to investigate their effects on the rate of electron transfer and structural stability of such Na-ion cathode materials.

EAGER: High-throughput, culture-independent technique identifying cyanobacteria infections to improve understanding of carbon biogeochemical cycling

Original Source

Johns Hopkins University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance

This DMP aims to collect data on viruses and viral infections in the ocean to better understand which bacteria viruses infect. To do this, the researchers are developing a "high-throughput technique to identify cultures in the environment."

Effects of temperature and salinity on population growth of the estuarine copepod, Eurytemora affinis

Original Source

DataOne

This DMP will collect data on the growth of the population of a Copepod over time under different treatment conditions.

Gene expression analysis data from non-human model organism (zebrafish)

Original Source

National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)

This is a sample data management plan from the NIH, intended for submission to the NICHD, that describes a plan to create and preserve biological data from different types of fish embryos.

Genomic data from a non-human source

Original Source

National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)

This is a sample data management plan from the NIH, intended for submission to the NIMH, presenting a proposal to collect and analyze genomic data from animal (mice) and human subjects.

Human genomic data

Original Source

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.

Life history constraints and spatial responses of marine fish to climate change

Original Source

Oregon State University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance

This DMP aims to collect marine data in order to determine the impact climate change has on marine fish and how they have responded.

Rio Grande Basin Hydrologic Geodatabase Compendium

Original Source

DataOne

This DMP aims to collect data on water resources of the Rio Grande in an effort to create a geodatabase.
