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.

Purdue University System

This DMP aims to collect data on wastewater pharmaceutical concentration as well as pH, flow rate, solar intensity, and exposure time to better understand the degradation efficiency of these drugs.

Oregon State University

This DMP will measure the impact change sea levels and melting of the ice sheet has on the marine biologic pump.

Oregon State University

This DMP aims to collect marine data in order to determine the impact climate change has on marine fish and how they have responded.

Universität Bayreuth

This DMP aims to generate a dataset from the analysis of 3 major urban areas in order to ascertain the "sources, pathways, and impact of freshwater microplastic pollution" to inform European decision makers about best strategies for prevention and mitigation.

University of Michigan–Ann Arbor

This DMP examines how changes in forest structure due to natural and manmade events like logging and forest fires in conjunction with other factors like climate, nutrient concentration etc. act to influence how fast trees grow, nitrogen is retained, and carbon is captured.

University of Glasgow

This data management plan from the University of Glasgow for the "Mapping Metaphor" project aims to create a website and a mobile application with worksheets, lesson plans, interactive activities and data tailored for use by secondary school pupils and others.

University of Colorado Boulder

This DMP aims to collect atmospheric data in East Antarctica like cloud height and temperature.

University of Nebraska--Lincoln

This DMP will collect data to "reduce the risk of hazard material transportation, reduce crashes, improve emergency response times for unexpected events, and increase the overall safety of system workers and users."

University of Colorado Boulder

This DMP aims to collect data along a stretch of the Canadian Artic to establish a baseline level of pollen that will be compared to current modern levels of pollen so that the effect of climate change on the Artic and subarctic ecosystems can be ascertained.

University of Alberta
This is a DMP example for a fictional research study that will use a mixed-methods approach to collect participant data from interviews, surveys, and focus groups.
Carnegie Mellon University

This DMP outlines the criteria that University Transportation Centers must meet in their DMPs to conduct research projects.

University of Florida

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

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."

James Madison University

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.

University of Alabama

This DMP aims to collect data from public safety organizations to identify and develop public safety innovations.

Colorado State University

This DMP will collect primary research data on field observations, lab analysis, simulation models, GIS maps, etc. to answer the research question.

Monash University

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).

University of Arizona

This document is an in-depth process Data Management Plan for the OSIRIS-REx project. This outlines generation and validation of mission, spacecraft, instrumentation, calibration, algorithms, software, and other data for an asteroid sample return project.

University of Southern California

This DMP outlines a plan for documenting and preserving transportation data so that it is accessible for future use in evaluating the safety and efficacy of the transportation centre.

Portland State University

This DMP aims to collect linguistic and developmental data to determine how phonological learning and bilingualism impacts development.

UC San Diego

This DMP will utilize proteomics, biochemistry, genetics, and microscopic tools to understand the role specific proteins play in polarized cell division.

Bates College

This DMP lays out a plan for fieldnotes, interview notes and recordings, survey responses, and metadata to analyze playtesting in videogame development.

University of Tennessee at Knoxville

This DMP seeks to collect data on precipitation level and the corresponding temperature to create a dataset that analyses the relationship between the above.

Technische Universität Wien

This DMP will measure the relationship between weather observations and prevalence of influence through analyzing and collecting instrument datasets on weather and influenza occurrences.

UC San Diego

This data management plan is from Allan Snavely's proposal to the Strategic Technologies for Cyberinfrastructure (STCI) program.

Iowa State University

This DMP will collect data from various cellular techniques like mass spectrometer, PCR, western blots, etc. to answer the research question.

Cégep de Jonquière
This DMP aims to collect qualitative and quantitative data from semi-structured interviews and surveys to evaluate how millennials adapt to adulthood.
University of Massachusetts Amherst

This DMP aims to collect data to answer the following research question: "Why did the United States and Germany extend the franchise to racialized minorities respectively in the 1960s and 1990s whereas Austria persisted their disenfranchising citizenship policy?"

University of Athens

This is a data management plan from LIBER for the RAWFIE initiative which intends to design a platform to conduct and monitor experiments in the domain of the Internet of Things, among others.

University of Leeds
