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 Glasgow; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collected transmitted-light microscopy images of giemsa-stained squashed larval brains, confocal microscopy images of immunostained whole-mounted larval brains, and western blot data to investigate the "role of Polo kinase in metaphase to anaphase transition in Drosophila melanogaster."
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."
Harvard University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP will work to create DMP example policies, technical infrastructure, and examples that that are in line with the FAIR data guidelines.
Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP will collect qualitative and quantitative information on cognitive, affective, and developmental data of human subjects to ascertain the impact financial constraints have on the academic performance of University students.
Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect physical samples near mining areas to evaluate the impact of mine waste minerals on the Mojave Desert.
DataOne
This DMP will collect data on the growth of the population of a Copepod over time under different treatment conditions.
Utah State University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data by analyzing the rocks from the San Andreas Fault Zone to better understand processes, particularly dynamic weakening that lead to the generation of earthquakes.
University of Iowa; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This is a data management plan that aims to understand the evolution of oxidative stress response networks in ROS resistant yeast.
Utah State University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data on rocks following an earthquake to determine the processes that underly earthquake.
