DMPTool
DMPTool is a resource researchers can use to draft data management plans that meet funding agency requirements. It's formatted as a template to address specific aspects of managing research data including data types, ownership, description, preservation and sharing. The tool prompts you with guidelines and questions specific to your funding agency, which will expedite drafting of plans.
Simply select your funding agency from the drop-down menu in the tool, fill in the text boxes in each section of the plan, export to rich text, and drop your completed plan in your grant proposal! It is that easy!

Sample Data Management Plans
DMPTool allows individual researchers to make their data management plans available as examples to researchers at their own institutions or to any DMPTool user.
If you have a great data management plan that you'd like to share with other Penn researchers, you can indicate this by selecting the "institutional" option in the Visibility section of the overview of your plan. Please note that, if you make your plan visible to others, they will be able to copy your plan and use it as a template.
