Data management plans (DMPs) play an integral role in ensuring that data are collected, organized, stored, and shared responsibly. Biomedical and biological researchers writing such plans frequently ask for examples of excellent DMPs that incorporate their data types and specific storage, access, and IP requirements. To respond to this need, and to celebrate excellence in managing and sharing biomedical and biological data, FASEB announces the DataWorks! Data Management Plan Challenge.
We are seeking DMPs that incorporate image data types, human subjects data, and big data into a template based on the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Plan Requirements (NOT-OD-014). We invite you to amend your existing DMP or create one specifically for this competition for a chance to win one of 10 Outstanding NIH DMSP awards, each of which includes a prize of $500.
The competition is a joint initiative with DMPTool, the Research Data Access and Preservation Association, and the Network of National Libraries of Medicine.
