Starting January 2023, the NIH will require funded researchers to submit a plan outlining how scientific data from their research will be managed and shared.  A well thought out data management plan helps researchers plan for the unexpected, increase efficiency, and aid in reproducibility. The DMPTool is a free tool that walks users through creating competitive, comprehensive data management plans. The webinar will guide researchers, librarians, grant administrators, and other research support staff in understanding data management plan basics, creating a DMPTool profile and exploring available templates and planning resources. This is a joint presentation with Elizabeth Roth from Region 2  and Katie Pierce Farrier and Region 3.
