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.

Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) in Light-Matter Interactions

Original Source

University of Montreal

This DMP aims to collect calculations, simulations, publications, presentations, and experimental design work. The goal of the project is to comprehend and control the quantum dynamics of light-induced excited states in condensed matter.

Data Management Plan for Computational reproducibility in High-Performance Computing (HPC)

Original Source

Digital Research Alliance of Canada; University of Waterloo

This DMP example show uses a case study of relativistic astrophysics and gravitational physics data to show how management strategies can support computational reproducibility in High-Performance Computing. Data are the inputs and outputs of the numerical simulation model.

Data Management Plan for Ecohydrology Research Group

Original Source

Digital Research Alliance of Canada; University of Waterloo

This is a data management plan example created by the Ecohydrology Research Group at the University of Waterloo. It presents a sample DMP for research work within the field involving laboratory, chemical, biological and numerical data.

Data Management Plan for UVic’s Groundwater Science and Sustainability Research Group

Original Source

University of Victoria

This DMP is created for the Groundwater Science and Sustainability Research Group at the University of Victoria. The DMP aims to collect various forms of data, with an emphasis on geospatial data, and is inspired by the ecohydrology specific DMP template at UVic.

Data Management Plan Template: Studying Molecular Interactions

Original Source

University of New Brunswick; Digital Research Alliance of Canada

This is a template DMP for use in projects that combine scientific methods with computer simulations/modelling to study molecular interactions.

Data Management Plan Template: Water Quality Research

Original Source

University of Waterloo; McMaster University; The Gordon Foundation; University of Saskatchewan; Wilfrid Laurier University; Digital Research Alliance of Canada

This is a template DMP for oceanographic research to generate water quality data.

Designing Low-Temperature Synthesis Methods for 2-Dimensional Oxide Perovskites

Original Source

University of Waterloo; Digital Research Alliance of Canada

This DMP aims to collect photographs, Raman data, and lab data to develop new and efficient techniques for synthesizing two-dimensional perovskites at lower temperatures.

Does habitat availability decline towards the range edge of Rhinanthus minor?

Original Source

McGill University

This DMP aims to collect demographic and lifetime fitness data from transplant experiments, as well as temperature data and tabular data. This data will be used to investigate if habitat availability declines towards the range edge of Rhinanthus minor.

Green SkEye project: Greenhouse Imaging and Analytics for Omics Innovation in Agriculture

Original Source

University of Saskatchewan; Digital Research Alliance of Canada

This DMP aims to collect plant phenomic and genomic data to increase crop yield, agricultural sustainability, and improve crop breeding.
