  1. William Mischo & Mary Schlembach NSF Data Management Plan Requirement Presentation May 25, 2011

  2. Data Management Plan • The Data Management Plan (DMP) is a new NSF mandatory supplementary document for all research proposals • http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/dmp.jsp • Each directorate, including the Engineering Directorate (ENG), has prepared documents providing some specific directions and required elements • The ENG document: http://nsf.gov/eng/general/ENG_DMP_Policy.pdf

  3. Date Management Plan • “Investigators are expected to share with other researchers, at no more than incremental cost and within a reasonable time, the primary data … created or gathered in the course of work under NSF grants” • Maximum of two pages and will not count against the 15 page limit for proposals

  4. Date Management Plan • The basic level of digital data to be archived and made available includes analyzed data (not raw data) and the metadata (descriptive data about the data) that define how these data were generated • For Engineering Directorate grants, raw data from sensors or other instruments is not required to be archived

  5. Date Management Plan • Include data that are or should be published in refereed journal articles, and for supplemental data attachments for manuscript, book and book chapters, and other publications • Metadata elements include descriptions of experiments, apparatuses, raw materials, computational code, and compute-calculation input conditions

  6. Date Management Plan • NSF assumes that DMP documents will be vetted and standardized through the review process. It is expected that a community of practice will evolve over the next several years • We have put together a template document with suggested text to assist proposal preparers in constructing the DMP
