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 Science Foundation (NSF)
This DMP was created by the NSF as a template for 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.
University of British Columbia
This DMP aims to collect Qualtrics survey data in the efforts of examining open data practices amongst engineering researchers at UBC.
University of California, Riverside
This DMP aims to collect both non-digital and digital data. The specific forms of data are hand-written observations, images, videos, nucleotide and protein sequences, genome sequences, genome annotations, metabolic models, metabolomics and transcriptomics data, genetic and phenotypic data, media formulations, and plant growth measurements. This data will be used in the aim to improve the economics, productivity, and sustainability of U.S. agriculture by using metabolic models to accelerate the engineering process of all crops.
