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 British Columbia
This DMP aims to collect interviews, videos, transcripts, and word documents. This data will be used for the purpose of interviewing nursing librarians from CARL to understand what they learned from COVID-19 and their thoughts about academic support post-pandemic.
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.
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; 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.
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.

Bangor University
This DMP aims to collect  demographic data, numeric data, and raw and standardized score measurements. This data will aid with investigating the combined effectiveness of language and literacy interventions on reading outcomes in primary school children.
