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.

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.
University of Nebraska - Lincoln; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This outlines best practices to include when writing DMPs. It shares examples of good language included in DMPs to highlight the importance of specificity in describing privacy and licensing, procedures, roles and responsibilities, data sharing, metadata, citation, and long-term archiving. It also gives examples of bad language in DMPs to demonstrate poor data management strategies.
California State University, Channel Islands
This DMP aims to collect observational data including oak tree height, Lat, log, width, and acorn count. This data will be collected by surveying Harmon Canyons Oak trees in order to understand Canopy cover and the biodiversity that lies under the cover.
Women Food and Agriculture Network
This DMP aims to collect both digital and non-digital including online program participant registrations, outreach materials, project activity tracking, and assessment questionnaires. This data will be used in the effort of providing more opportunities for women farmers, as well as boosting aspects of confidence, interest, commitment, and connectivity with respect to the farming field.
