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 aims to collect clinical and demographic data to better understand the association between balance deficits and urinary tract infections as well as low back pain.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data on fish grazing intensity and algal biomass on water temperature and population control of primary producers.
University of Ottawa Heart Institute; Metaresearch and Open Science

Developed by researchers for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, this guidance and worked example extracts examples from Beck, Leblanc, and Morissette's systematic review protocol on depression screening of children and adolescents. It outlines a data management plan for a systematic review study.

University of Ottawa Heart Institute; Metaresearch and Open Science

Developed by researchers for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, this guidance and worked example outlines a data management plan for a pre-clinical laboratory animal study. This DMP outlines a project to explore stroke treatments using biocellulose duroplasty with rat subjects.

University of Ottawa Heart Institute; Metaresearch and Open Science

Developed by researchers for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, this guidance and worked example outlines a data management plan for a randomized controlled trial conducted with 100 human participants. Demographic data will be collected from participants, and then other data is collected by an electroencephalogram, electroculogram, electromyogram, as well as video and sound.

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.
New Jersey Institute of Technology
This DMP aims to collect mathematical model data, code, experimental data, and numerical simulation data. The project itself intends to create a cross-disciplinary training program based on the relationship between mathematics and biology.
Louisiana State University; Open Anthropology Research Repository
This DMP aims to collect coastal hazard data, GIS shape files and data, social-economic data, and demographic data. This data will be used for investigating population changes in a vulnerable coastal environment.
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.
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."
National Institute on Aging (NIA); Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This is a DMP for a hypothetical drug discovery including intellectual property using mice: chemical structures, workflows, medicinal and analytical chemistry, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and PET imaging. Data and protocols are proposed to be shared in PubChem and AD Knowledge Portal.
DePauw University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP will collect data from surveys that high school students in King County Schools fill out in order to understand drug use among this population.
DYNACOMP consortium; University of Vienna (PHAIDRA)
This DMP was created for the DYNACOMP project, which aims to set up a training network for the design of advanced structural composite materials. Data collected includes mainly numerical data.
The University of Sheffield; University of Vienna (PHAIDRA)
This DMP was created for the DyVirt project which aims to create an early stage researcher training network that will address the challenge of modeling the performance of engineering structures in dynamic environments. It will consist of the collections of computer-based  simulation models.
University of Bradford; University of Vienna (PHAIDRA)

This DMP aims to collect experimental measurements of behavioral data, MRI data, and EEG data, as well as audiovisual and haptic data. The goal of the DyViTo project is to address the central challenge of the perception of material and appearance in dynamic environments.

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."
RTI International
This DMP aims to collect geographic data, survey data, statistics, microdata, and code.
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.
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.
Umeå University
