This workshop teaches researchers how to write a Data Management & Sharing Plan (DMSP). Data Management & Sharing Plans will soon be a requirement for all federally funded grant applications, and effect funding decisions. This workshop will demonstrate how to use DMPTool, a free, open source, and easy to use tool to write DMSPs that meet funder requirements. This session will also introduce the Data Management & Sharing Plan review service, where an expert data manager provides feedback on your DMSP to improve its success prior to submitting.    

Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the basic requirements of writing a DMSP
• Be able to use DMPTool to streamline your DMSP writing
• Recognize on campus data management support, including the DMSP review service

Audience

• Researchers who need to write a DMSP for a grant proposal
• This session is discipline agnostic and applies to all researchers
• Teams who are interested in writing a DMP for project management purposes, such as for lab or team environments, and not for a grant submission are encourage to join.

Prerequisites:

• None - this session does not expect previous experience writing a Data Management & Sharing Plan. The session is designed to be applicable to seasoned grant applicants and first time researchers.
