Working closely with the university’s Office of Research Administration and Finance to make this piece of the grant-writing process easier for researchers, the library began a partnership with DMPTool this spring.
 
The web-based application gives step-by-step instructions and guidance for building a DMP and allows you to:
 
 
  • Create ready-to-use DMPs for specific grant-funding agencies including the NIH, National Endowment for the Humanities Office of Digital Humanities, and more than a dozen NSF directorates
  • Satisfy funder requirements for DMPs.
 
DMPTool also provides a convenient starting point for DMP writers, because resources such as funding agency guidelines, advice for principal investigators, and even sample DMPs are available on the site.
