Research Data Management Plans

Data management plans (DMPs) are often required when applying for grants to support large-scale DH projects. The links below are open access templates that will guide you through writing a data management plan.

DMPTool
A service of the University of California Curation Center of the California Digital Library, this tool provides a wizard that moves users through writing a DMP that complies with funder requirements. To create an account and practice writing DMPs, click Option #2 under the "Sign in" menu on the top right side of the page. (Fordham does not have an institutional affiliation with this tool.)
DMPonline
Developed by the Digital Curation Centre in the UK, this tool is optimal for writing DMPs that meet UK & European funding requirements.
