DMPs for Funders

A short plan submitted alongside grant applications

An outline of –  what will be created/collected

–  methods

–  Standards –  Metadata

–  sharing/access –  long-term storage

Includes how and why

But they all have different requirements and express them in

different ways

A Short History

DMP supplement may include: 1.  the types of data, samples, physical collections, software, curriculum

materials, and other materials to be produced in the course of the project

2.   the standards to be used for data and metadata format and content (where existing standards are absent or deemed inadequate, this should be documented along with any proposed solutions or remedies)

3.   policies for access and sharing including provisions for appropriate protection of privacy, confidentiality, security, intellectual property, or other rights or requirements

4.   policies and provisions for re-use, re-distribution, and the production of derivatives

5.   plans for archiving data, samples, and other research products, and for preservation of access to them

NSF DMP Requirements From Grant Proposal Guidelines:

DMPs and their evaluation will grow & change over time (similar to broader impacts)

Peer review will determine next steps

Community-driven guidelines –  Discipline-specific

–  Flexibility at the directorate and division levels

–  Tailor implementation

Evaluation will vary with directorate, division, & program officer

*Unofficially

But Wait!

Data management planning is… •  Complex •  Requires dialog

•  Range of support & understanding

•  These tools: –  simplify & scale the common parts –  develop community –  provide incremental improvement in

functionality
