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.

This DMP aims to outline data collection for a project focused on light towers under the Wyoming Department of Transportation. The data collected will include information about climate, wind, strain, temperature, and presence of icing. Photographs and drawings are also collected.
ISPA; CRL
This DMP was created for the HOME_EU project which studies homelessness. The DMP outlines the collection of interview data from 5,600 expected adults across 8 countries.
Newcastle University
This DMP aims to collect survey data from a minimum of 30 participants for the purpose of identifying higher order therapy skills.
University of Edinburgh
This DMP aims to collect point cloud data from a 3D scanner, videos, photos, and survey data. The project aims to use this data to study the architectural and construction technology aspects of a 13th-century church called St Sophia in Andravida, Peloponnese.
Universität Passau
This DMP was created for the MARIO project, which aims to use service robots to manage active and healthy aging. This DMP will outline the collection of survey data, patient profile information, and robot interaction datasets.
University of Alberta; Digital Research Alliance of Canada
This is a DMP example for a fictional research study that will use a mixed-methods approach to collect participant data from interviews, surveys, and focus groups. This example uses the new Alliance Simplified Template (Funding Application Stage) which focuses on 5 questions that are helpful for a DMP that meets new Tri-Agency requirements.
National Science Foundation (NSF)
This DMP was created by the NSF as a template for Engineering.
Monash University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This large-scale project aims to generate an integrated model of primary healthcare for refugee clients in Australia. Their DMP is an excellent example of an in-depth process-based DMP that outlines governance, organization, documentation, and storage for all data types, and sharing and access (including how requests should be made).
University of Aix-Marseille
This DMP was created for the ERC HornEast project, which aims to study the regional environment and mobility of men and women in the Horn of Africa. The DMP will outline the collection of texts, photographs, videos, maps, notebooks, presentations, spreadsheets, GIS, and archaeological documents.
Cégep de Jonquière; Digital Research Alliance of Canada
This DMP aims to collect qualitative and quantitative data from semi-structured interviews and surveys to evaluate how millennials adapt to adulthood.
University of Edinburgh
This DMP aims to collect point cloud data from a 3D scanner, videos, photos, and survey data. The project aims to use this data to study the architectural and construction technology aspects of Frankish Morea.
