As of January 18, 2011, the National Science Foundation required all proposals to include a data management plan as a supplementary document. Most funders have followed them asking for data to be made available with embargoes from 6 months to 5 years.12 months is standard. These documents are no longer than two pages in length, which is good news although good management should also be reflected in the methodology. And should describe how the proposed project will conform to the policy.If you are looking for a international best practice use the NSF policy on the dissemination and sharing of research results.This means that those researchers, mainly Americans, have now gone through one or two entire grant cycles with DMP's. They know the ropes. Data Management has tended to be more informal in South Africa up to this point, so researchers can see this section as being administrative. It is important for South African researchers not to gloss over this section in grant proposals as it might make a grant application less competitive than that of others researcher. It important to note that it Welcome trust as well.
It is relatively controversial so we have linked reviews. You might often find even when there is not a formal Data Management Plan that your grant application included data quality assurance, security and so on.
Please look at the examples
NSF is the oldest DMP user and still sets the model.
Several NSF Divisions and Directorates have specific requirements for data management plans, including:
Engineering Directorate (ENG)
Geological Sciences Directorate (GEO)
Division of Earth Sciences
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program
Division of Ocean Sciences
Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate (MPS)
Division of Astronomical Sciences
Division of Chemistry
Division of Materials Research
Division of Mathematical Sciences
Division of Physics
Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences Directorate (SBE)
Directorate-wide Guidance
Be sure to carefully review program solicitations or individual NSF Division and Directorate web pages for additional information.
