Data Management PlansMichael HawkinsResident Library

Head, Map Library

The Data Management Plan

• National Science Foundation began requiring a Data Management Plan effective January 2011.

• Many agencies have since added Data Management Plan as required element of all proposals (NASA, DOE, ED, NIH)

• NSF will not evaluate any proposal missing a DMP• May be up to two pages long• PI may state that project will not generate data or samples• DMP is reviewed as part of intellectual merit or broader impacts of

application, or both• Costs to implement DMP may be included in proposal’s budget

Data Management Plan

• 1. Types of Data• 2. Standards Used for the Data• 3. Policies for Data Access and Sharing• 4. Policies and Provisions for re-use, re-distribution and production

of derivatives.• 5. Plans for Archiving

What is meant by “data management”?

Fundamental Practices• File Organization• Data Documentation• Reliable Backups

Data lifecycle• Digital Sustainability• Scholarly Communication• Data Publishing• Research Impact

Upfront Decisions for Researchers

• What is the expected lifespan of the data?• Besides the researcher(s) on the project, who else should be given

access to the data? • Does the dataset include any sensitive information?• Who owns or controls the research data? • Should any restrictions be placed on the dataset? • How are the data stored and preserved?

Upfront Decisions for Researchers

• How might the data be used, reused, and repurposed? • How is the data described and organized?• Who are the expected and potential audiences for the datasets?• What publications or discoveries have resulted from the datasets?• How should the data be made accessible?
