Now that your project has been awarded, you will need to prepare a full Data Management Plan (DMP), building on the details that you included in the outline Data Management Plan in your proposal.

Writing your DMP

Your data management plan is a document that describes your plans for creating, organising, documenting, storing and sharing data. It takes into account issues such as data protection and confidentiality, data preservation and curation, and provides a framework that supports researchers and their data throughout the course of their research and beyond. A DMP is designed to be a living document, and it is important to update your plan as necessary throughout the project.

UCD Library has a comprehensive Library Guide on Data Management Plans, which covers all aspects of DMPs, including writing your data management plan, describing and organising your data and metadata, Funding Agency requirements, storage and security. It can be accessed at the link in the Self Service supports below.
