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.

Open Anthropology Research Repository

This DMP aims to collect archaeological data expressed in a variety of open formats including, JSON, and Atom Syndication Format.

University of Glasgow, Digital Curation Centre (DCC)
This data management plan from the University of Glasgow aims to build two online atlases of Scots syntactic features with a "Google Maps" style interface with audio recordings and geospatial, sociological and biographical material.
University of Sheffield; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This is an annotated DMP template for a Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)grant containing guidance text produced by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC), the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), and the University of Sheffield Library.
McMaster University
This data management plan template is designed to facilitate group collaboration among a diverse range of stakeholders, including artists, researchers, research participants, social service workers, community organizers, and community workers. It is intentionally crafted in plain language to facilitate accessibility and understanding for all parties involved. Additionally, it frames the process as conversation as opposed to a more traditional form, fostering relational approaches to interdisciplinary collaboration.
DataOne
This DMP aims to collect data to investigate the effect nutrient limitation in grasslands on arthropod community diversity and growth levels.
USGS; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data from a Landsat Device like surface reflectance to assess the quality of a water source.
DataOne
This DMP aims to collect data on the CO2 concentrations present in the air on Mauna Lao, a remote island observatory.
Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF)
This DMP was created for the audioCommons project, which aims to create an ecosystem for reuse of audio content, to encourage creativity and innovation.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data obtained from imaging mass cytometry in order to machine learning and computational models that to optimize the technology.
