Data Management Plans
Description of how you will create, organize, and archive data generated by your research
Description of how you will share your data in compliance with your funder’s requirements
Reviewed as part of the grant application Every funding agency has their own
requirements and these requirements are likely changing

SHow do data management plans benefit the researcher?1. Prevent data loss2. Create data in formats that will have a better chance
of being read in the future 3. Describe what resources will be needed to preserve
the data and obtain funding for those resources4. Create data that is searchable5. Comply with federal agency grant proposal
requirements6. Create well-described and organized data to support
publication requirements7. Facilitate the re-use of data sets, open access, and
data sharing

“Most of the time, researchers said ‘it’s probably in this or that location’, such as their parents' attic, or on a zip drive for which they haven’t seen the hardware in 15 years," says Timothy Vines, the lead author on the study and an evolutionary ecologist at the University of British Columbia
Prevent data loss by saving data in a long-term data storage facility that provides backups.
Data usually needs to be kept for a minimum of 3 years after the conclusion of the grant or 3 years after the data is released to the public (whichever is later).

Sharing Your Data
“Investigators who incorporate data sharing in the initial design of the study may more readily and economically establish adequate procedures for confidentiality and sharing a useful dataset.”
- NIH Data Sharing Policy
Privacy Concerns
Identifiers removed through data cleaning
Data sharing agreements restricting use
All elements should be addressed in the Data Management Plan

NIH Plans for Data Sharing &Data Management Plans
All NIH-funded research:1. Demonstrates a commitment to share data, at a
minimum the data underlying any publications2. Describes the data to be produced and the
metadata standards used to describe the data3. Describes how data will be shared, provisions
for the reuse of data, and timelines for public access of data
4. Provides for protecting privacy, confidentiality, data security, and intellectual property

NIH PLANS FOR DATA SHARINGPEER REVIEW OF DATA MANAGEMENT PLANS
NIH will ensure that the merits of digital data management plans are considered during the peer review process for extramural research grants and contracts.
NIH will review progress reports for data management plan adherence

NIH PLANS FOR DATA SHARINGDATA DISCOVERABILITY, CITING, AND ARCHIVING
Create a citable unique identifier (much like the PMCID for articles)
NIH will expect researchers to deposit data in a publicly-accessible NIH repository before considering other means of making data available.
Enhance existing repositories to minimize submission burden, accommodate additional data, and support interoperability
Open Data – Nature Journals
Supporting data must be made available to editors and peer-reviewers at the time of submission for the purposes of evaluating the manuscript. The preferred way to share large data sets is via public repositories.
Unstructured repositories like figshare and Dryad are suitable alternatives if no structured public repositories exist.
