What is a Data Management Plan (DMP)?\nA Data Management Plan (DMP) is a written document detailing data that will be acquired or produced during a research project; how the data will be managed, analyzed, and stored; and how the data will be handled, protected, shared, and preserved during and after the project has been completed.\nB. Getting started with your DMP.\nThe questions below provide a starting point for beginning to think about and formulate a DMP:\nWhat is the purpose of the research?\nWhat is the data? How and in what format will the data be collected? Is it numerical data, image data, text sequences, or modeling data?\nHow much data will be generated for this research?\nHow long will the data be collected and how often will it change?\nAre you using data that someone else produced? If so, where is it from?\nWho is responsible for managing the data? Who will ensure that the data management plan is carried out?\nWhat documentation will you be creating in order to make the data understandable by other researchers?\nAre you using metadata that is standard to your field? How will the metadata be managed and stored?\nWhat file formats will be used? Do these formats conform to an open standard and/or are they proprietary?\nAre you using a file format that is standard to your field? If not, how will you document the alternative you are using?\nWhat directory and file naming convention will be used?\nWhat are your local storage and backup procedures? Will this data require secure storage?\nWhat tools or software are required to read or view the data?\nWho has the right to manage this data? Is it the responsibility of the PI, student, lab, or funding agency?\nWhat data will be shared, when, and how?\nDoes sharing the data raise privacy, ethical, or confidentiality concerns?  Do you have a plan to protect or anonymize data, if needed?\nWho holds intellectual property rights for the data and other information created by the project? Will any copyrighted or licensed material be used? Do you have permission to use/disseminate this material?\nAre there any patent- or technology-licensing-related restrictions on data sharing associated with this grant?\nWill this research be published in a journal that requires the underlying data to accompany articles?\nWill there be any embargoes on the data?\nWill you permit re-use, redistribution, or the creation of new tools, services, data sets, or products (derivatives)? Will commercial use be allowed?\nHow will you be archiving the data? Will you be storing it in an archive or repository for long-term access? If not, how will you preserve access to the data?\nIs a discipline-specific repository available?\nHow will you prepare data for preservation or data sharing? Will the data need to be anonymized or converted to more stable file formats?\nAre software or tools needed to use the data? Will these be archived?\nHow long should the data be retained? 3-5 years, 10 years, or forever?\nC. Sections of a DMP.\n1) Roles and Responsibilities\nList staff/organizational roles and their responsibilities for carrying out the data management plan (DMP); name specific people where possible. Include a description of time allocations, training requirements, and contributions of non-project staff, as appropriate.\nIndicate wh","cbCaiscqvWIjDoX1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiscqvWIjDoX1","docx",33148,"English","# What is a Data Management Plan (DMP)?\n# Getting started with your DMP\n# Sections of a DMP\n## Roles and Responsibilities\n## Costs\n## Types of Data\n# Agency Guidelines and VCU Resources\n# NSF DMP Template","[{\"question\":\"What does a Data Management Plan (DMP) include?\",\"answer\":\"A DMP documents what data will be acquired or produced, how it will be managed and stored, and how it will be protected, shared, and preserved during and after the research project.\"},{\"question\":\"How do I start creating a DMP?\",\"answer\":\"Use the provided guiding questions covering research purpose, data types and formats, expected data volume, collection timelines, data sources, responsibility for management, documentation, metadata standards, file formats, and naming conventions.\"},{\"question\":\"Which sections should be addressed in a DMP?\",\"answer\":\"Typical sections include roles and responsibilities (who stewards and ensures adherence), costs (what funding includes and service expenses), and types of data (what will be generated and how it is described).\"}]","Data Management Plan Guidance and Templates | DOCX",1788299811]
