Data Management Plans in Practice

Overview

Writing a data management plan (DMP) is often an unpopular task. However, funding agencies are placing increasing emphasis on the inclusion of a detailed plan in grant proposals. A multitude of workshops and resources seems to have turned writing a DMP into almost a science of itself. This session aims to take a practical approach, focusing on the key aspects that define a good DMP in terms of both content and format, as well as how to use it to effectively support your own research.
