Writing a Data Management and Sharing Plan with DMPTool

Level: Novice

Data management and sharing plans (DMSPs) are short documents that outline how a research team will organize, store, preserve, and share their research data during and after data collection. Attend this workshop to learn how DMPTool, a free online resource, can help you write your DMSP, through interactive templates and customized guidance, for grant or institutional requirements like the NIH Policy for Data  Management and Sharing or the University of Pittsburgh’s Research Data Management Interim Policy. 

Upon completing this class, you should be able to:
  • List the components of a data management and sharing plan.
  • Access the DMPTool.
  • Select a template and create a DMSP draft in DMPTool.
  • Submit your draft plan for feedback from HSLS librarians through DMPTool.
