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 was created for the STRADIV project, which aims to outline the conditions needed for an ecological transition of agroecosystems. The data collected includes agronomic data, experimental data, survey data, and observational data.
Harvard University
This DMP aims to collect survey data in pdf, video, and image formats. This data will be collected for the SMART trial, in efforts to study mental and reproductive health in teens.
UC San Diego; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This is a data management plan from UC San Diego which details a strategy to collect and analyze raw data.
National Institute on Aging (NIA); Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This sample DMP aims to collect data from an accelerometer, surveys, and semi-structured interviews from 250 participants.
National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)
This is an example of a data management plan from the NIH, intended to collect anthropologic and public policy data from surveys and interviews.
National Institute on Aging (NIA); Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) aims to add to an existing longitudinal project by conducting another wave of data collection from 13 000 web-surveys and 200 health exams. This will be shared under a restricted use agreement.
National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Human Genome Research Institute Home (NHGRI)
This sample data management plan from the NIH, intended for submission to the NHGRI, outlines a technology development project that will collect nanospore sequence data, whole genome sequence data, and RNA sequence data from 20 human cell lines via a biobank.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID); Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data on nonrandomized observational population studies to identify gaps in study design and data collection methods to make it more standardized.
UMC Utrecht
This DMP aims to collect a pseudonymized/anonymized dataset from a minimum of 28 patients from the department of Ophthalmology. This data will be used in the effort of analyzing the visual outcome of children after epilepsy surgery.
UMC Utrecht
This DMP aims to collect patient data and medical records for the efforts of assessing whether patient-specific implants for acetabular fracture surgery result in a more accurate reconstruction.
University of Guelph
This DMP aims to collect numeric, text, images, and lab data to aid in the efforts of providing practical and effective prudent antimicrobial use guidelines for Ontario cow-calf operations.
University of Manchester
This DMP aims to collect interview data, which will be used to understand barriers and facilitators to hearing aid use in teenagers.
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, as well as genetic and phenotypic data. This data will be used in the aim to create citrus trees that are resistant or tolerant to Huanglongbing (HLB) disease, and/or to create effective treatments.
University of Guelph
This DMP aims to collect numeric data from lab info, treatment info, surveys, and questionnaires. This data will be used to understand the transmission of Salmonella Dublin within dairy and veal farms in order to control it better.
Arizona State University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect wet-lab cellular data in order to assess to the role of developmentally partitioned proliferative components in brain tumor glioblastomas.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data from experiments "using a unique imaging system to probe how a polymeric jet injected into a surrounding Newtonian fluid becomes unstable."
University of Arizona; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP will use longitudinal speech data of cancer survivors from another study to develop a Machine Learning model that can increase participant compliance with health lifestyle habits.
McMaster University
This is a student data management record created by the vascular dynamics lab. Although it was created for students working within this lab and is structured for kinesiology related research, it has broad applicability as an exit protocol for labs working across Natural and Health Sciences.
Broad Institute; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect virome data in order to characterize the biological features of viruses commonly found in humans.
University of Warwick, NIH
This protocol was created for the VITAL trial which aims to investigate volatile and total intravenous anesthesia for major non-cardiac surgery. The main form of data collected is clinical data, and the management of said data is available in section 5 of the protocol.
University of Guelph
This DMP aims to collect numeric data only, consisting of things like weed control, crop injury, crop dry weight, and crop yield. The goal of the project is to examine various herbicide tolerances of several vegetable crops.
Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory; Defense Technical Information Centre
