More about DMPTool

DMPTool Quick Start Guide
The quick start guide provides an overview of 'My Dashboard' and how to create a data management plan.
DMPTool FAQ
The tool provides a click-through wizard for creating a DMP that complies with funder requirements. It also has direct links to funder websites, help text for answering questions, and data management best practices resources.
Example Public DMPs
Public DMPs are plans created using the DMPTool service and shared publicly by their owners. They are not vetted for quality, completeness, or adherence to funder guidelines.
Templates for Funder Requirements
Templates for data management plans are based on the specific requirements listed in funder policy documents. The DMPTool maintains these templates, however, researchers should always consult the program officers and policy documents directly for authoritative guidance.
