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.

Alaska Regional Office (AKRO); NOA Fisheries
This DMP was created for the Blend System, which aims to provide a comprehensive accounting of groundfish catch. The project collects digital numeric data, imagery, photographs, video, audio, database, and tabular data.
University of Limoges; University of Vienna (PHAIDRA)
This DMP was created for the ATHOR project which aims to develop technologies in material engineering and numerical simulations, for the modeling of refractory linings. Data to be collected includes experimental data, literature reviews, and quantitative model results.
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.
California Ocean Science Trust
This DMP was created for California’s Statewide MPA Monitoring Program, collecting four levels of data. Data types include ecological data, fisheries landings data, environmental data, field and measurements.
Digital Research Alliance of Canada; University of Saskatchewan
This DMP describes a plan for a study to collect data from academic profile websites--Google Scholar, Citations, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, and ORCID--to understand the presence of librarian researchers on those platforms. Data collected for analysis includes textual and numerical data across different platforms and translated in to SPSS for analysis.
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."
Enedis
This DMP was created for the InterFlex project, which aims to look at ways to adapt and modernize the electric distribution system. The DMP will outline the collection of documents, financial data, facility data, network data, and customer data.
MaX Consortium
This DMP was designed for the Centres of Excellence for HPC applications. It aims to collect various open-source first principles simulation codes.
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.
National Science Foundation (NSF)
This DMP was created by the NSF as a template for Materials Research.
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.
Botanic Garden Meise; Research Institute for Nature and Forest
This DMP was created for the TrIAS Project, which aims to formulate better predictions of the risks posed by alien invasive species in Belgium. It aims to collect observational data, checklists, climate data, assessment data, and code.
