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.

Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP will collect qualitative and quantitative information on cognitive, affective, and developmental data of human subjects to ascertain the impact financial constraints have on the academic performance of University students.
Pennsylvania State University
This DMP aims to collect DNA and RNA sequencing data translated into genomes and transcriptomes, count data, phenotypic measurements, and site-specific methylation status data. This data will be used in the aim to guide epigenetic breeding in related cereal crops to enhance biotic and abiotic stress-tolerance.
University of Guelph
This DMP aims to collect numeric data to determine if intervention with a NSAID upon an alert on an automatic feeder can improve calf behavior, glucose status, and performance.
Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC); Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This is a fictional DMP Example that aims to collect data on recipes from the 1600s to World War 1 to ultimately create an open-access database.
University of Guelph
This DMP aims to collect both qualitative and quantitative data. This data is mainly numerical and includes soil structural properties, crop measurements, and general site information. Data collected will be used in the study of no-till corn and soybean production in high-residue environments via improved planter components.
