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.

This DMP aims to generate a dataset from the analysis of 3 major urban areas in order to ascertain the "sources, pathways, and impact of freshwater microplastic pollution" to inform European decision makers about best strategies for prevention and mitigation.
University of Michigan–Ann Arbor; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP examines how changes in forest structure due to natural and manmade events like logging and forest fires in conjunction with other factors like climate, nutrient concentration etc. act to influence how fast trees grow, nitrogen is retained, and carbon is captured.
Concordia University of Edmonton
This DMP aims to collect tweets from twitter, and use machine learning to analyze mental health patterns due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

University of Arizona; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This document is an in-depth process Data Management Plan for the OSIRIS-REx project. This outlines generation and validation of mission, spacecraft, instrumentation, calibration, algorithms, software, and other data for an asteroid sample return project.
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.
