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 collect telemetry data, digital numeric data, imagery, photographs, video, audio, database, location data, biological samples, and tabular data. This data will be used for assessing the pinnipeds inhabiting the California Current in relation to the sea lions and seals.
Ayesa Advanced Technologies
This DMP was created for the AGRICORE project which aims to create an agent-based support tool for the development of agriculture policies. This DMP outlines the usage of a collection of datasets, each with their own respective file formats. Data types include tabular data, textual data, documentation, scripts, audio, images, and video data.
Coventry University; Centre for Agroecology; Water and Resilience
This DMP was created for the AGROMIX project which aims for sustainable food security. This DMP outlines the collection of various kinds of data, ranging from models and surveys, to experimental data.
Alaska Regional Office (AKRO); NOA Fisheries
This DMP was created for Alaska Steller sea lion capture data. The project collects digital numeric data, imagery, photographs, video, audio, database, and tabular data.
SoilWise Consortium
This DMP is for the SoilWise project and aims to create an open access knowledge and data repository to safeguard soils. The DMP aims to collect repositories, records, graphs, and all kinds of data/knowledge about soils.
University of Leeds; ARPHA Preprints
This DMP was created for the H2020 BESMAP project. The project aims to collect geospatial databases, socio-economic models, and farming system archetypes.

University of Guelph
This DMP aims to collect numeric field data to be used to diversify and enhance The University of Guelph’s soybean breeding.
University of Florida
This DMP was created for a project aimed to quantify ecosystem service development in human-made oyster reefs. The data collected is expected to consist of both observational and sampled data, along with water quality information such as salinity and temperature.
Pennsylvania State University
This DMP aims to collect DNA and RNA sequencing data translated into genomes and transcriptomes, count data, phenotypic measurements, and site-specific methylation status data. This data will be used in the aim to guide epigenetic breeding in related cereal crops to enhance biotic and abiotic stress-tolerance.
University of Guelph
This DMP aims to collect numeric data to determine if intervention with a NSAID upon an alert on an automatic feeder can improve calf behavior, glucose status, and performance.
University of Guelph
This DMP aims to collect both qualitative and quantitative data. This data is mainly numerical and includes soil structural properties, crop measurements, and general site information. Data collected will be used in the study of no-till corn and soybean production in high-residue environments via improved planter components.
University of Guelph
This DMP aims to collect numeric data to improve the productivity and profitability of Ontario garlic sector.
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.
