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.

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.
N/A
This DMP aims to collect audio data from stationary recorders and audio logger data. This data will be used in the efforts of studying the disturbance on barren-ground caribou with a two-pronged acoustic monitoring approach.
University of Guelph
This DMP aims to collect numeric data only. The aim of the project is to investigate 4 fertilizer placements used by strip-tillers.
Toronto Metropolitan University
This DMP aims to collect press reports, box office records, films, interviews, and MAXQDA files. The goal of the project is to study cultural diversity in film festivals.
Digital Research Alliance of Canada; University of Alberta
This is an example data management plan from the Alliance which intends to study the historical and cultural influence of Belgian and French immigrants to the Canadian Prairies. The data collected for analysis include text-based, image and geographical data.
Digital Research Alliance of Canada; Simon Fraser University
This sample data management plan from the Alliance aims to create a comprehensive digital database of women's contributions to print culture from 1750 to 1830. It uses data collected from a variety of digital databases and print bibliographies and uses a metadata schema developed by the authors.
Digital Research Alliance of Canada; Université de Montréal
