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.

Newcastle University
This DMP predicts to collect spectrograms, and formant frequencies. This data will be used in the aim to understand how singers’ accent and pronunciation contributes to the ways their music is received and understood.
Alaska Regional Office (AKRO); NOA Fisheries
This DMP was created for the Catch Accounting System, which aims to create total catch estimates for the groundfish fisheries. This DMP outlines the collection of digital numeric data, imagery, photographs, video, audio, database, and tabular data.
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.
Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF)
This DMP was created for the audioCommons project, which aims to create an ecosystem for reuse of audio content, to encourage creativity and innovation.
Digital Research Alliance of Canada; Simon Fraser University
This sample data management plan from the Alliance aims to create a comprehensive digital database of women's contributions to print culture from 1750 to 1830. It uses data collected from a variety of digital databases and print bibliographies and uses a metadata schema developed by the authors.
Digital Research Alliance of Canada; Université de Montréal
This is an example data management plan from the Alliance which describes a fictional research project which involves the collection of soundscapes from monasteries. The fictional researcher intends to collect audio data (WAV files) in order to facilitate analysis.
University of Alberta; Digital Research Alliance of Canada
This is a template DMP for arts-based research intending for projects that will utilize artistic research methods.
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.
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.
Durham University
This DMP aims to take a qualitative approach through the use of research interviews and solicited diaries. The data mentioned above will be used to investigate the manner in which LGBTQ language instructors navigate across the highly complex environment of Vietnamese language education.
McMaster University
This DMP aims to collect survey data, assessment data, interview data, audio recordings, transcriptions, document drafts, and data tables. This data will be used to create a set of design principles to empower university-level instructors to either incorporate generative AI tool use in assessments or to limit the impact of generative AI on the integrity of assessments.
Florida PALM Consortium
This DMP was created for the Florida PALM project, which aims to implement a statewide accounting system.
Loughborough University
This DMP aims to collect qualitative interview data, which will be used in the efforts of validating and exploring more about a literature review on the integration of sustainability into graphic design pedagogy in UK higher education.
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.
