DMP

Programme participants will develop a Data Management Plan (DMP), based on their study design, using the provided DMP template.



Why Do I Need to Create a DMP?


Increasingly, DMPs are becoming a requirement for grant proposals; there are often mandates that require provision of information about sharing data and publications from funding agencies. A DMP will also help you to keep track of the data you are collecting, for use in the future or other projects.
