Make a Data Management Plan

Do you need to create a data management or sharing plan as a part of your proposal to the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, or other funding agency?

We can help you prepare a well-written data management plan (DMP) that describes how you’ll develop, describe, protect, share, and preserve your data.

Whether you’re preparing a grant proposal, want guidance on how to handle sharing and access, or need to decide which data repository is right for you, we’ll work with you to develop a plan that meets your needs.

Get to know Deep Blue Data, our institutional repository for sharing and archiving U-M research data. It’s protected and secure, free to use, and developed and managed by the library.
