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 Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

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.

McMaster University
This DMP aims to collect info data, raw data, processed data, analyzed data, and report data. The goal of the project is to build a research and technology center to develop high-performance methods for biosensing and bioimaging.
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.

Digital Research Alliance of Canada; University of Waterloo

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.

University of New Brunswick; Digital Research Alliance of Canada
This is a template DMP for use in projects that combine scientific methods with computer simulations/modelling to study molecular interactions.
University of Calgary; Digital Research Alliance of Canada

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

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.
National Institute on Aging (NIA); Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This is a DMP for a hypothetical drug discovery including intellectual property using mice: chemical structures, workflows, medicinal and analytical chemistry, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and PET imaging. Data and protocols are proposed to be shared in PubChem and AD Knowledge Portal.
ER4STEM Consortium; University of Vienna (PHAIDRA)
This DMP was created for ER4STEM, which is a project geared towards educational robotics for young children. This DMP aims to collect audio, video, documentation, images, questionnaires, interviews, reflections, and observations.
National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)
This is a sample data management plan from the NIH, intended for submission to the NICHD, that describes a plan to create and preserve biological data from different types of fish embryos.
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 genomic, phenotypic, and clinical data from human subjects.

National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK); Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance

This example DMP aims to collect genomic and phenotypic data from 36 human subjects.

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 genomic data from animal (mice) and human subjects.
National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)

This is an example of a data management plan from the NIH, intended for submission to the NICHD, that details a plan to collect and deidentify clinical, laboratory and genomic data from 1000 participants.

National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Human Genome Research Institute Home (NHGRI)

This is a sample data management plan from the NIH, intended for submission to the NHGRI, that provides an outline for a project involving human genomic and clinical data.

ATLANTIS Engineering
This is a DMP for the iQonic project which aims to work towards improved manufacturing processes in the field of optoelectronics.
National Science Foundation (NSF)
This DMP was created by the NSF as a template for Computer and Information Science and Engineering.
Neurofibres consortium; University of Vienna (PHAIDRA)
This DMP was created for the Neurofibres project, which works in the area of neurodegenerative bio-electronics. It aims to collect laboratory data, research data, scientific texts, and other documents.
National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

This sample data management and sharing plan proposes a secondary data analysis of existing kidney magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. This secondary data will be accessed from the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP). The goal of this research is to produce a clinical dataset of kidney volume, estimated using a neural network.

UC San Diego; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This is a data management plan from UC San Diego which details a strategy to collect and analyze raw data.
Universitat Politecnica de Valencia; LIBER
This is a data management plan from LIBER for the TWEETHER initiative which intends to develop capacity and coverage for a w-band wireless system.
