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 investigates Afro-descendant movement in Latin America and subsequent self-determined collectives using participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and participatory workshops.
Alaska Regional Office (AKRO); NOA Fisheries
This DMP aims to collect telemetry data, digital numeric data, imagery, photographs, video, audio, database, location data, biological samples, and tabular data. This data will be used for assessing the pinnipeds inhabiting the California Current in relation to the sea lions and seals.
Alaska Regional Office (AKRO); NOA Fisheries
This DMP was created for Alaska Steller sea lion capture data. The project collects digital numeric data, imagery, photographs, video, audio, database, and tabular data.
Bard Graduate Center; Open Anthropology Research Repository
This DMP aims to collect digitized materials, fonts, search algorithms, and software. The digitized materials will consist of historical and recent photographs, newspaper clippings, sound recordings, video clips, interviews, published essays, narratives, and songs.
Brown University; Qualitative Data Management Plan (DMP) Competition
This is a Data Management Plan reviewing archival data from the National Public Broadcasting Archives, National Public Radio organizational records, and semi-structured interviews with non-white broadcasters and public radio employees in the USA and Australia to analyze diversity efforts in Public Radio Organizations.
Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.); Defense Technical Information Centre
This DMP is a template for the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC).
University of Nevada, Las Vegas; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data from structured interviews and secondary data from COVID-19 hospitalizations and social distancing mobilization in Florida county health departments. This will be done in an attempt to understand "the roles and patterns of institutional collaborative mechanisms across scale and functions that are used to overcome collective action dilemmas produced by the COVID-19 pandemic."
University of Texas at San Antonio; Qualitative Data Management Plan (DMP) Competition
This DMP collects histories and experiences of members of the Hispanic community in San Antonia during COVID-19.
University of North Carolina Chapel Hill; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This is a DMP template for researchers at the H.W. Odum Institute for Research in Social Science applying to the National Science Foundation (NSF). This DMP template is for data that does not contain Personal Identifiable Information (PII).
University of North Carolina Chapel Hill; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance

University of California, Irvine; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect qualitative and quantitative survey information to improve DMPs and make them more actionable.
RTI International
This DMP aims to collect geographic data, survey data, statistics, microdata, and code.
University of Florida
This DMP was created for a project aimed to quantify ecosystem service development in human-made oyster reefs. The data collected is expected to consist of both observational and sampled data, along with water quality information such as salinity and temperature.
Pennsylvania State University
This DMP aims to collect DNA and RNA sequencing data translated into genomes and transcriptomes, count data, phenotypic measurements, and site-specific methylation status data. This data will be used in the aim to guide epigenetic breeding in related cereal crops to enhance biotic and abiotic stress-tolerance.
