DMPTool for data management plans

The DMPTool helps researchers create data management plans required by many grant funders. Watch the video to learn more about the DMPTool.

Many funding agencies are requiring researchers

to submit a data management plan (DMP)

alongside their grant applications.

These DMPs are an outline

of what the researchers will do with their data

both during the project and afterward.

The DMPTool can help researchers create DMPs,

saving them time, and helping them meet funder requirements easily.

It's free for anyone to use,

and the code is open source.

The DMPTool guides the user through

making a plan with a step-by-step wizard

that provides help text, resources, and suggested answers.

And researchers can co-create plans with colleagues,

submit their plans to institutional administrators for review and assistance,

and save and print their plans.

The DMPTool supports all major funders

and is updated when funders release new requirements.

That means you can count on the DMPTool

for having the latest information.

Institutional administrators can customize the tool for their researchers,

providing information on available campus services, like data repositories.

That means better plans for researchers,

since their DMPs will be tailored to the resources at their specific institutions.

Data is now being recognized as a valuable research product.

Researchers that use the DMPTool to create quality DMPs will have an edge in the grant selection process

and will be able to more effectively collect, manage and share their data.
