PLANNING YOUR PROJECT Research Data Management

The University of Hertfordshire and many funding bodies want assurance that you have systems and protocols in place to protect your data during the working, sharing, and preserving stages of your project. They require a Research Data Management Plan. Sometimes this is incorporated into the electronic grant application process e.g. Je-system. Others, like UH require you to complete a DMPonline Template. Research Data Management Research Data Plan Planning Research Data Management

To assist in preparation of basic Data Management Plans (DMP) at the funding application stage, the DCC presents DMP online. These templates are designed to make researchers think about our projects and how to manage the data throughout the whole project life cycle.
