Summary
Data Management and Sharing Plans (DMSPs) are increasingly becoming a requirement when submitting research proposals. Even when not required, proposals with DMSPs are often scored higher than proposals without one. Developing a DMSP helps researchers plan technology use, create a more accurate budget, and assist in the Information Assurance (IA) review process, if needed. DMSPs are recommended for all studies utilizing wearable and mobile technologies.
The Research Data Stewardship Initiative (RDSI) supports U-M researchers in managing and sharing their research data to improve the transparency, rigor, and impact of academic research. It does this through the development of policies, procedural guidance, best practices, and resources.
