What is a Data Management Plan (DMP)?
A data management plan is a formal document that outlines what you will do with your data during and after you complete
your research. It describes the data that will be created, the standards used to describe the data (metadata), who owns the
data, who can access the data, how long the data will be preserved (and/or made accessible), and what facilities and
equipment will be necessary to disseminate, share, and/or preserve the data. Several funding agencies require or encourage
the development of data management plans for research.
Specific guidelines for data management planning from NSF, NIH, DOE, NASA, NEH
How do you write a DMP?
A Data Management Plan consists of many elements describing the preservation, sharing, and access for your data. For a
breakdown of the primary elements to include in your data management plan, see:

Who can you contact if you need help or have questions?
NCSU's Sponsored Programs and Regulatory Compliance Services (SPARCS), working with the NCSU Libraries and NCSU's
Office of Information Technology (OIT) Shared Services group, is providing consultation for data management and discovery
