Description

This is a data management plan template for Charité researchers. It contains a complete set of questions from the Horizon Europe DMP template, supplemented by questions from the DFG questionnaire and questions reflecting internal processes at Charité. 

This template contains sample responses. These sample answers are only intended to give an indication of how the question should be understood. You can use the answers, but only if they apply to your case. Please check carefully. 

A DMP is a living document that you should update regularly. The latest version should always be available to your team. 

Please note that this template has been created by the Open Data & Research Data Management (RDM) team of the QUEST Center for Responsible Research, Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) at the Charité and the Cluster of Excellence NeuroCure and is provided as a service. It is not an official document of the Charité. Some of the information may not apply to other institutions. Please check carefully.
