Research Data Management Services supports researchers in meeting funder and publisher requirements for data sharing, and ensuring that research data are usable over time.
A Data Management Plan (DMP) is a formal document that describes the data generated during a research project. A DMP also details all aspects of data management that will take place during the integrated research data lifecycle when data are being collected, organized, documented, stored, shared, and preserved.
DMP Guide - provides an overview of what is a DMP, key elements of a DMP, funder agencies' guidelines, and best practices for DMPs.
DMP Questionnaire- includes specific questions to consider when establishing data management procedures for your research project. The questions address the five core components required by most funding agencies.
The DMPTool is an online platform guiding DMP development according to the requirements of specific funding agencies. Texas A&M University researchers log in with their NetID and passwords.
DMPTool Instructions - show you how to create a data management plan through DMPTool step by step.
