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 aims to fill in and identify taxonomic and geographic information gaps of plants and fungi in Brazil.
Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data on factors like wave height, temperature, etc. to create a dataset in order to better understand how the Kelp Forest Ecosystem responds to climate change and local disturbances.
Digital Research Alliance of Canada; University of Waterloo
This DMP example show uses a case study of relativistic astrophysics and gravitational physics data to show how management strategies can support computational reproducibility in High-Performance Computing. Data are the inputs and outputs of the numerical simulation model.
Digital Research Alliance of Canada; University of Waterloo
This is a data management plan example created by the Ecohydrology Research Group at the University of Waterloo. It presents a sample DMP for research work within the field involving laboratory, chemical, biological and numerical data.
University of the Virgin Islands; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP details a student research program that aims to build international research capacity in learners.
Lincoln University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data non-native plant species in New Zealand to determine the impact climate limitations have on their growth/numbers.
University of Victoria
This DMP is created for the Groundwater Science and Sustainability Research Group at the University of Victoria. The DMP aims to collect various forms of data, with an emphasis on geospatial data, and is inspired by the ecohydrology specific DMP template at UVic.
CIRAD, with contributions from WP4 and all SC partners
This DMP was created for the LEAP4NSSA project, which aims to establish a sustainable platform for the implementation of the AU-EU Research and Innovation Partnership. The data collected includes datasets from text and data mining, quantitative and qualitative data, and documentation data.
University of New Brunswick; Digital Research Alliance of Canada
This is a template DMP for use in projects that combine scientific methods with computer simulations/modelling to study molecular interactions.

This DMP aims to collect data on fish grazing intensity and algal biomass on water temperature and population control of primary producers.
New Jersey Institute of Technology
This DMP aims to collect mathematical model data, code, experimental data, and numerical simulation data. The project itself intends to create a cross-disciplinary training program based on the relationship between mathematics and biology.
McGill University
This DMP aims to collect demographic and lifetime fitness data from transplant experiments, as well as temperature data and tabular data. This data will be used to investigate if habitat availability declines towards the range edge of Rhinanthus minor.
University of Glasgow; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collected transmitted-light microscopy images of giemsa-stained squashed larval brains, confocal microscopy images of immunostained whole-mounted larval brains, and western blot data to investigate the "role of Polo kinase in metaphase to anaphase transition in Drosophila melanogaster."
Johns Hopkins University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP aims to collect data on viruses and viral infections in the ocean to better understand which bacteria viruses infect. To do this, the researchers are developing a "high-throughput technique to identify cultures in the environment."
Harvard University; Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance
This DMP will work to create DMP example policies, technical infrastructure, and examples that that are in line with the FAIR data guidelines.
