Description

This training guideline provides trainers conducting introductory workshops on Data Management Plans (DMP) with a step-by-step approach to planning and running an effective session, ensuring participants leave with a solid understanding of DMP fundamentals. It also includes a teaching script example, with learning objectives and a suggested duration.

This guide is based on the “DMP – Level 1: Fundamentals” module from the Train-the-Trainer Concept on DMPs and RDMO, the practical guide 23 TrainingThings For Effective Webinars, and introductory workshop materials on DMPs and RDMO. 

The guide was developed during the incubator project with the Chemistry Consortium of the National Research Data Infrastructure in Germany (NFDI4Chem) during the integration phase of the NFDI basic service on data management plans (DMP4NFDI).
