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.

Mobilise-D Consortium
This DMP aims to collect multi-sensor-lab data, single-sensor data, multi-sensor-home data, patient reported outcomes, semi-structured interviews, GPS annotated data, and legacy data. This data will be used for the Mobilise-D project which will connect digital mobility assessments to clinical outcomes for regulatory and clinical endorsement.
Montreal Neurological Institute
This DMP aims to collect reaction time, choice, and eye-tracking data which will be used for a mock behavioral and eye-tracking project.
University of Edinburgh
This DMP aims to collect medical record data, questionnaire data, images, genotypic data, and quantitative molecular genetic data. This data will be used in the effort of enhancing molecular pathology cancer epidemiology studies.
University of Florida; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP will use data from existing datasets that are already largely public to conduct analyses and create computational models to answer the research question.
Baylor University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP will collect genetic data from experiments to understand and provide a solution to the "increase in "insecticide resistance in mosquito vectors of human pathogens."
National Science Foundation (NSF)
This DMP was created by the NSF as a template for Materials Research.
James Madison University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This project aims to design quality and inclusion into cyber-human systems. Their DMP uses the NSF Computer and Information Science and Engineering DMP template to outline their plan to care for and de-identify demographic, Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale–Revised (RAADS-R), and NASA Task Load Index data.
National Institute on Aging (NIA); Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect videographic data to generate cardiac physiological profiles taking into consideration behavioral and autonomic nervous system data from 500 subjects.
National Institute on Aging (NIA); Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP supports a study on rodent electrophysiology, behavior, and imaging data, which will be archived in Distributed Archives for Neurophysiology Data Integration (DANDI).
Colorado State University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP will collect primary research data on field observations, lab analysis, simulation models, GIS maps, etc. to answer the research question.
Medical College of Wisconsin; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data in order to assess the challenges associated with the implementation of widespread PrEP injection rollout to combat HIV.
Karolinska Institutet
This DMP aims to collect laboratory measurements, diagnosis and procedural data, information about mortality, and clinical characteristic data of disease. All data will be used in aid of identifying best clinical practices for effective and safe use of medications for Chronic Kidney Disease.
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).
