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.

McMaster University
This data management plan template is designed to facilitate group collaboration among a diverse range of stakeholders, including artists, researchers, research participants, social service workers, community organizers, and community workers. It is intentionally crafted in plain language to facilitate accessibility and understanding for all parties involved. Additionally, it frames the process as conversation as opposed to a more traditional form, fostering relational approaches to interdisciplinary collaboration.
Texas A&M University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP outlines a plan for experimental testing, characterization, and simulation data for experiments with nickel-titanium shape memory alloys using a laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing process. This includes thermal and precipitates evolution physics based modelling.
Toronto Metropolitan University
This DMP aims to collect press reports, box office records, films, interviews, and MAXQDA files. The goal of the project is to study cultural diversity in film festivals.
Natural Justice; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data on Indigenous experiences with climate change and the licensing behind data produced by these communities.
Digital Research Alliance of Canada; University of Alberta
This is an example data management plan from the Alliance which intends to study the historical and cultural influence of Belgian and French immigrants to the Canadian Prairies. The data collected for analysis include text-based, image and geographical data.
Digital Research Alliance of Canada; Western University, Queen's University
This is an example data management plan from the Alliance which aims to create a database of digital products from the Canadian Census of Population. The database includes text base data collected from Statistics Canada.
Digital Research Alliance of Canada; Simon Fraser University
This sample data management plan from the Alliance aims to create a comprehensive digital database of women's contributions to print culture from 1750 to 1830. It uses data collected from a variety of digital databases and print bibliographies and uses a metadata schema developed by the authors.
Université du Québec à Montréal; Digital Research Alliance of Canada
This is a template DMP for researchers conducting historical research within the humanities utilizing analog research data.
Cégep de Sherbrooke; Digital Research Alliance of Canada
This DMP aims to collect digital, tabular, and graphic data on plastic production parameters, environmental conditions, and inspectional measures among other factors to optimize the industrial extrusion process.
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.
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."
University of Nottingham
This DMP aims to collect survey data that will be used to provide the information needed to further inform and address food insecurity in Nottinghamshire.
Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP will use information from police incident and investigation reports from 5 different jurisdictions in America to investigate the impact 25 specific demographic factors have on how a case is sentenced or whether it is charged.
MaX Consortium
This DMP was designed for the European Centre of Excellence in materials modeling, simulations and design. It aims to collect code and simulation data.
National Science Foundation (NSF)
This DMP was created by the NSF as a template for Engineering.
Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK)
This DMP was created for the SIMPATICO project, which aims to use information technology to improve the experience of citizens and companies in their daily interactions with the public administration. The datasets that will be collected include logging/feedback, citizenpedia, and citizen personal data.
University of Edinburgh
This DMP aims to collect photos, videos, sketches of elements, survey observations, and project documents, in order to understand from a technical perspective, how to reconstruct French cathedrals after the first world war.
Economic and Social Research Council; Digital Curation Centre (DCC)
This data management plan from the University of Leeds aims to create a website and a series of informational videos in memory of the Holocaust and its victims. This DMP also includes some reviewer feedback.
Fondation Jean-Jacques Laffont and Copenhagen Business School (CBS)
This DMP was created for the DeNazDB project, which studies what factors led to the German support of the Nazi’s. The data to be collected includes individual-level longitudinal data from the denazification questionnaires from 1945 and 1949.
University of South Carolina
This DMP aims to collect journals, articles, and critical analysis information for the purpose of studying women writers’ role in literary history.
