Do you need a data management and sharing plan (DMSP) for your grant proposal? The University of Iowa Libraries Research Data Services can help! Brian Westra, data services librarian, is available to help you create a data management plan in alignment with funding agency requirements. If you have questions about:

• Which repository is most appropriate for my data?
• What data standards apply to my data?
• What metadata should be used?
• Are there other agency-specific requirements to include in my plan?

We can help you create a data management plan to support your proposal. Research Data Services monitors funding agency policies and guidance, including the NIH policy.

Resources for NIH plans:

• NIH DMSP Checklist
• UI NIH Data Management and Sharing website
• NIH: Writing a Data Management and Sharing Plan

We can also assist with plans for the NSF, CDC, NOAA, and other funders.

Please contact Brian at lib-data@uiowa.edu as early as possible to make sure you have plenty of time to submit your proposal.
