DCC Data Management Plan Content Checklist

Abstract

Funders increasingly require their grant-holders to produce data management plans.1 This content template draws upon their requirements to suggest ‘preliminary’ and ‘full’ versions of a data management plan. The preliminary version summarises the main issues most research funders expect researchers to address at the application stage. The full version extends the core sections with additional details that are required by one or two funders, as well as contextual details that could be included as best practice.
