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.

This is an example of a data management plan from the NIH, intended to collect genomic data and subsequent phenotype data from cancerous mice models.
This is an example of a data management plan from the NIH, intended to collect clinical, demographic, and dialysis data from research participants.
This DMP was created for the ConcePTION project, which aims to create an ecosystem that will collect information regarding the effects of medications used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The DMP will outline the collection of healthcare data, surveillance data, research data, pharmacovigilance data, human reported data, human milk and blood samples, animal milk and blood data, and human cells.
This DMP is curated to document 20 – 25 digital stories depicting Detroit’s ethnic histories. The data collected will include a combination of digital images, audio and video.
This DMP example show uses a case study of relativistic astrophysics and gravitational physics data to show how management strategies can support computational reproducibility in High-Performance Computing. Data are the inputs and outputs of the numerical simulation model.
This example data management plan from the Alliance intended to analyze the availability and usage of affordable rental housing. The project requires the collection of various forms of numeric, audio-visual and text-based data collected from a variety of sources such as surveys, focus groups etc.
This is a template DMP for mixed-methods research where data is obtained from surveys and qualitative interviews/focus groups.
This is a template DMP for researchers conducting statistics based research for Statistics Canada for use in external analyses and applications.
This is a template DMP for use in systematic review projects in any field.
Developed by researchers for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, this guidance and worked example extracts examples from Beck, Leblanc, and Morissette's systematic review protocol on depression screening of children and adolescents. It outlines a data management plan for a systematic review study.
Developed by researchers for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, this guidance and worked example outlines a data management plan for a pre-clinical laboratory animal study. This DMP outlines a project to explore stroke treatments using biocellulose duroplasty with rat subjects.
Developed by researchers for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, this guidance and worked example outlines a data management plan for a randomized controlled trial conducted with 100 human participants. Demographic data will be collected from participants, and then other data is collected by an electroencephalogram, electroculogram, electromyogram, as well as video and sound.
This DMP aims to collect demographic, clinical, and patient data in the form of MRI scans as well as patient placenta and tissue data from pregnant people diagnosed with fetal CHD.
This example DMP aims to collect genomic and phenotypic data from 36 human subjects.
This is a sample data management plan from the NIH, intended for submission to the NIMH, presenting a proposal to collect and analyze genomic, phenotypic, and clinical data from human subjects.
