Provided by the UCSF RDO these templates are for researchers who need to address data and resource sharing in their grants. Note that these are not as comprehensive as a full data management plan.

UCSF has created a working draft template of a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Data Management Plan (DMP) as part of an ongoing effort to streamline access to CMS data. To access the template please contact Victoria So at victoria.so@ucsf.edu

The DMPTool is a free, open-source, online application that helps researchers create data management plans. The DMPTool provides a click-through wizard for creating a DMP that complies with funder requirements. It also has direct links to funder websites, help text for answering questions, and resources for best practices surrounding data management.
