Writing a Data Management and Sharing Plan Required for a Grant Proposal

Most federal research funders as well as many private funders now require a data management plan (DMP) be included in a grant proposal. This usually 2-page document describes how the principal investigator(s) will plan to manage the proposed project’s data over the lifetime of the project as well as how, when, and how they will disseminate and share data with other researchers and the public, and preserve the integrity and access to the data after the project ends. Come learn about the required content for a DMP and Brown infrastructure and supports that can be included in your plans and look at some examples of DMPs from funded proposals.
