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.

Oregon State University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect marine data in order to determine the impact climate change has on marine fish and how they have responded.
Universität Bayreuth; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to generate a dataset from the analysis of 3 major urban areas in order to ascertain the "sources, pathways, and impact of freshwater microplastic pollution" to inform European decision makers about best strategies for prevention and mitigation.
Open Anthropology Research Repository

This DMP aims to collect texts, transcriptions, photographs, visual materials, audio, and translations.

University of Texas at Austin
This DMP outlines various questions to be used for creating a DMP for linguistic research.
University of Bristol
This DMP was created for the ALSPAC study, which is a multi-generation, geographically based cohort study of 14,541 pregnant mothers and their partners, offspring, and children from 1990-1992. This study data was used in a project about parental religious behavior and beliefs.
University of Michigan–Ann Arbor; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP examines how changes in forest structure due to natural and manmade events like logging and forest fires in conjunction with other factors like climate, nutrient concentration etc. act to influence how fast trees grow, nitrogen is retained, and carbon is captured.
Curtin University
This DMP aims to collect group discussion data, interview data, and consumer records to analyze luxury item linked purchasing and consumer confidence trends.
Concordia University of Edmonton

This DMP aims to collect tweets from twitter, and use machine learning to analyze mental health patterns due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
