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.

National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
This is a sample data management plan from the NIH, intended for submission to the NIMH, presenting a proposal to collect and analyze demographic, clinical and MRI data from human subjects.
National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

This is an example of a data management plan from the NIH, intended to collect clinical, demographic, and dialysis data from research participants.

University of Calgary; Digital Research Alliance of Canada

This is a template DMP for use in systematic review projects in any field.

University of Cambridge; University of Vienna (PHAIDRA)
This DMP was created for the DIGIWHIST project which aims to systematically evaluate information on public procurement in 35 jurisdictions across Europe. Data collected includes procurement data, and public sector data.
TRACK Consortium
This DMP was created for the TRACK project, which aims to benchmark and identify energy efficiency opportunities for buildings. The DMP will outline the collection of publication data, datasets, technology data, data models, pictures, videos, audio, interview data, and building data.
Johns Hopkins University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect and create a public dataset of over 4000 MRI and CT scans of patients with various brain illnesses including but not limited to acute stroke and manual lesions.
ISGLOBAL
This DMP was created for the Harmonic project which aims to collect cancer patient data, cardiac patient data, as well as biomarker analysis data. The overall goal of the project is to build two cohorts of pediatric populations treated with medical ionizing radiation. The two cohorts are cardiac patients and cancer patients.
Florida PALM Consortium
This DMP was created for the Florida PALM project, which aims to implement a statewide accounting system.
UNIPI
This DMP was created for the PRIMAGE project which works in the area of medical imaging, artificial intelligence, and childhood cancer research. The project will collect data such as clinical data, biomarker information, and images.
University of Edinburgh
This DMP aims to collect technical documents, and interview data from modeling entrepreneurs, and bank workers. This data will be used in the effort of investigating how machine learning is being integrated into finance.
