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.

Wilfrid Laurier University
This DMP aims to collect survey data in order to examine the changes in the library landscape with regards to visible minority librarians. This will help the Visible Minority Librarians of Canada (ViMLoC) Network to empower librarians in this group regarding their current positions, and any future positions revolving around leadership, mentorship, and networking.
N/A; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect meteorological, physiochemical, environmental, and copepod population data to determine the effect of heavy metal on Estuarine Copepods.
University of Massachusetts Amherst; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP investigates Afro-descendant movement in Latin America and subsequent self-determined collectives using participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and participatory workshops.
Bard Graduate Center; Open Anthropology Research Repository
This DMP aims to collect digitized materials, fonts, search algorithms, and software. The digitized materials will consist of historical and recent photographs, newspaper clippings, sound recordings, video clips, interviews, published essays, narratives, and songs.
University of Salford
This DMP aims to collect demographic, diagnoses, quantitative, and textual data in the aim to potentially provide international evidence about the vulnerabilities of individuals with PAE/FASD.
Brown University; Qualitative Data Management Plan (DMP) Competition
This is a Data Management Plan reviewing archival data from the National Public Broadcasting Archives, National Public Radio organizational records, and semi-structured interviews with non-white broadcasters and public radio employees in the USA and Australia to analyze diversity efforts in Public Radio Organizations.
DataOne
This DMP aims to collect data to investigate the effect nutrient limitation in grasslands on arthropod community diversity and growth levels.
USGS; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance

This DMP will collect compositional, electrochemical property, and structural data to investigate their effects on the rate of electron transfer and structural stability of such Na-ion cathode materials.
UC San Diego; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP collects patient data (demographics, accuracy, and reaction time for experimental tests, and results from computer model simulations) to ascertain the impact of causal inference in visual identification.
Dartmouth College; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP will use bacterial strains, phenotypic data, Western blot data, microscopy, and code to analyze cdG surface sensing in bacteria.
