Data Management Plan

Creating a data management plan is a critical part of your research proposal and helps ensure efficient and compliant research with lasting benefits.

Increasingly funding agencies are requiring researchers to make their research publicly accessible, which requires a thoughtful Data Management Plan (DMP) that outlines how you will document, store, manage, and ultimately share the research data you generate. Regardless of whether or not it is required, the process of putting together a plan will make sure that your research data is well organized, accessible to the people who need it, and ready to be shared with publications.
