Many funding agencies are requiring researchers

0:00:03.507,0:00:06.375
to submit a data management plan (DMP)

0:00:06.375,0:00:08.705
alongside their grant applications.

0:00:08.705,0:00:10.648
These DMPs are an outline

0:00:10.648,0:00:12.310
of what the researchers will do with their data

0:00:12.310,0:00:15.114
both during the project and afterward.

0:00:15.114,0:00:18.587
The DMPTool can help researchers create DMPs,

0:00:18.587,0:00:23.088
saving them time, and helping them meet funder requirements easily.

0:00:23.088,0:00:24.665
It's free for anyone to use,

0:00:24.665,0:00:27.218
and the code is open source.

0:00:27.218,0:00:29.228
The DMPTool guides the user through

0:00:29.228,0:00:31.130
making a plan with a step-by-step wizard

0:00:31.130,0:00:36.801
that provides help text, resources, and suggested answers.

0:00:36.801,0:00:39.605
And researchers can co-create plans with colleagues,

0:00:39.605,0:00:43.447
submit their plans to institutional administrators for review and assistance,

0:00:43.447,0:00:46.773
and save and print their plans.

0:00:46.773,0:00:49.145
The DMPTool supports all major funders

0:00:49.145,0:00:52.888
and is updated when funders release new requirements.

0:00:52.888,0:00:55.152
That means you can count on the DMPTool

0:00:55.152,0:00:57.513
for having the latest information.

0:00:57.513,0:01:01.016
Institutional administrators can customize the tool for their researchers,

0:01:01.016,0:01:04.858
providing information on available campus services, like data repositories.

0:01:04.858,0:01:09.063
That means better plans for researchers,

0:01:09.063,0:01:14.031
since their DMPs will be tailored to the resources at their specific institutions.

0:01:14.031,0:01:17.996
Data is now being recognized as a valuable research product.

0:01:17.996,0:01:24.870
Researchers that use the DMPTool to create quality DMPs will have an edge in the grant selection process

0:01:24.870,0:01:29.975
and will be able to more effectively collect, manage and share their data.
