Other Data Management Plans

The best resource for developing the Data Management Plan for other agencies is the funder’s guidance information. The other important resource is the Data Management Plan (DMP) Tool, a free resource available to researchers that has guidance information for a wide variety of funders as well as sample plans. A login is required, but because Kansas State University is a partner institution, you can login using your K-State eID and password. Once in the tool, you can choose the template by funder, and the tool guides you on how to create a data management plan. For more information, visit:
