Data Management Plans help you plan

Writing a data management plan is an excellent way to identify and plan for your data management and sharing activities both during the project and then once the project is complete. There is no set format as to what a data management plan has to contain, but some funding agencies may provide a template if it is to be submitted as part of a grant application. UCL offers a generic data management plan template which is available here:

There is also a Moodle module which covers the data management plan process and provides an overview of the information you need to include. The course uses the above template, so you can work through the material it to fill in the template as you progress.

The library data management team will provide feedback on your data management plan before you submit it as part of a funding proposal.
