TU/e - Data Management Plan Template

A Data Management Plan (DMP) is a formal document that outlines how research data will be collected, organized, documented, stored, preserved, and shared during and after a research project. It is a crucial component of current research practice and is often required by funding agencies as part of grant applications. A funder-approved DMP is often also a requirement to obtain the first round of funding for a research project.

Data Management Plans are essential tools for promoting best practices in research data management, increasing the value of research outputs, and ensuring compliance with funder requirements. A DMP helps you at an early stage to plan how to make your research data FAIR and your research reproducible. It can also help you to comply with data protection laws and protect the privacy of data subjects. Furthermore, a DMP can increase the impact of your research and make it more efficient.

This is the Data Management Plan Template (list of questions) used at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).
