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 Guelph
This DMP aims to collect numeric data to improve the productivity and profitability of Ontario garlic sector.
National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)
This is a sample data management plan from the NIH, intended for submission to the NICHD, that describes a plan to create and preserve biological data from different types of fish embryos.
McMaster University
This DMP aims to collect survey data, assessment data, interview data, audio recordings, transcriptions, document drafts, and data tables. This data will be used to create a set of design principles to empower university-level instructors to either incorporate generative AI tool use in assessments or to limit the impact of generative AI on the integrity of assessments.

Curtin University
This DMP aims to collect discussion response data to explore the changing skill sets of professional comedy writers in light of the emergence of Twitter.
University of Nebraska - Lincoln; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This outlines best practices to include when writing DMPs. It shares examples of good language included in DMPs to highlight the importance of specificity in describing privacy and licensing, procedures, roles and responsibilities, data sharing, metadata, citation, and long-term archiving. It also gives examples of bad language in DMPs to demonstrate poor data management strategies.
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.
