More and more research funders require data management plans to be included in applications for research grants or funding. A data management plan (DMP) is a formal document that outlines what you will do with your data during and after a research project.
Although the requirements may vary from funder to funder, DMP’s generally consist of a description of the data to be collected or created; the methodologies or standards of data collection and management to be used; applicable security, confidentiality, ethics and intellectual property considerations ; and plans and strategies for data access and sharing as well as long-term preservation.
Several tools, such as the DMPTool from the University of California Curation Center and DMPonline from the Digital Curation Centre, have been developed and published online to help researchers create DMPs.
These web-based tools provide access to several DMP templates; guidance from specific funders who require DMPs and the ability to share or export DMPs in various formats. People from any institution can register freely to use these tools.

[:af]Befondsers van navorsing vereis toenemend dat databestuurplanne ingesluit word in aansoeke om befondsing of subsidies. ‘n Databestuurplan (DBP) is ‘n formele dokument wat omskryf hoe ‘n navorser sy/haar data sal bestuur tydens en na afloop van ‘n navorsingsprojek.
Alhoewel vereistes mag wissel van befondser tot befondser, bestaan ‘n databestuurplan gewoonlik uit ‘n beskrywing van die data wat ingesamel of gegenereer gaan word; die metodologieë of standaarde rakende data insameling en bestuur; data sekuriteit, vertroulikheid, oorweginge rakende etiek en intellektuele eiendomsreg, asook planne en strategieë vir toegang tot en deel van die data en die langtermyn-bewaring daarvan.
Verskeie hulpmiddele, o.a. die DMPTool van die University of California Curation Center en die DMPonline van die Digital Curation Centre, is ontwikkel en aanlyn beskikbaar gestel om navorsers te help om databestuursplanne te ontwikkel.
Hierdie web-gebaseerde hulpmiddele gee toegang tot verskeie DBP template; riglyne van spesifieke befondsers wat databestuursplanne vereis; en die funksionaliteit om planne in verskeie formate te genereer. Persone van enige instelling kan gratis registreer om hierdie hulpmiddele te gebruik.
