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.

This DMP aims to collect data on wastewater pharmaceutical concentration as well as pH, flow rate, solar intensity, and exposure time to better understand the degradation efficiency of these drugs.
University of Texas at Austin
This DMP outlines various questions to be used for creating a DMP for linguistic research.
University of California, Riverside
This DMP aims to collect both non-digital and digital data. The specific forms of data are hand-written observations, images, videos, nucleotide and protein sequences, genome sequences, genome annotations, metabolic models, metabolomics and transcriptomics data, genetic and phenotypic data, media formulations, and plant growth measurements. This data will be used in the aim to improve the economics, productivity, and sustainability of U.S. agriculture by using metabolic models to accelerate the engineering process of all crops.
