Grantsmanship Services provided by OTEFD & OSP • Provide information and guidance for internal and external funding opportunities • Writing and/or assisting faculty and staff in writing such proposals • Reviewing and editing proposals • Assisting with the development of cross-disciplinary proposals • Educating faculty and staff on the legal and ethical implications of grants • Training faculty and staff in identifying and seeking funding opportunities that contribute to continued professional growth and development as teaching scholars

12. Dr. Charles Maris Office of Sponsored Programs Data Management Plans

13. Goals for today • Understand what a data management planis • and why you need one • Understand what goes into a DMP • Are DMPs needed for every proposal? • How to (begin) writing your DMP

14. What’s a Data Management Plan? • It is a document, to be included in your proposal, that explains how you will share and disseminate your research results. • It is short (two pages) • There are a number of items that must be addressed (pay attention) • It is important • This is a requirement for NSF and many NIH proposals – the Feds are leading the way

15. For example…. Note well: There are resources! Such as, the NSF GPG, the DMP FAQ, the individual NSF Directorate, and your OSP.

16. More examples…

17. Easy to find, get to know your sponsor’s site well

18. Brass tacks: What? How? Tell me more! To begin: NSF GPG (Grant Proposal Guide) Chapter II, C, 2, j (pg II-18) • Key points: • 2 pages or less • NOT part of 15-pg narrative • Labeled “Data Management Plan” • Explain how you will satisfy their policy WRT: sharing & dissemination • Include: • types of data, collections, software, etc. • Data standards (jpg? PDF?) • Formats of the future will be non-proprietary and open • Metadata and content • Policy for access and sharing • Protection of privacy, security, intellectual property, • Policy/provision for re-use, re-distribution • How will you archive and interface

19. Motivation: Data fragility from Gizmodo, via BusinessInsider (2010) Borrowed from UConn

20. Brass tacks: What goes into a DMP? Data • Does not include physical objects or laboratory samples • Trade secrets, confidential materials are protected until published • Must provide for protection of personnel and medical information Each DMP should be appropriate for the data being generated and reflect the best practices and standards in the are of research being proposed. From the BIO DMP

21. Brass tacks: What goes into a DMP? From the BIO DMP

22. Brass tacks: How? • Begin with the items listed on the previous page. • Take a look at YOUR specific Directorate • Take a stab at it. We have templates – respond to the questions. We’re developing a library of successful plans.

23. Brass tacks: Tell me more! • Visit with OSP • Hands on mentoring and feedback • Liaison with sponsors • Developing a library of successful DMPs, templates, etc.

24. Am I finished? No! • On the back end (post-award), you need to consider reporting requirements, annual and final

25. You have so much info on the NSF. What about the NIH? • Same set of issues • Let’s take a look at the program announcement GOALS OF DATA SHARING Data sharing promotes many goals of the NIH research endeavor. It is particularly important for unique data that cannot be readily replicated. Data sharing allows scientists to expedite the translation of research results into knowledge, products, and procedures to improve human health. There are many reasons to share data from NIH-supported studies. Sharing data reinforces open scientific inquiry, encourages diversity of analysis and opinion, promotes new research, makes possible the testing of new or alternative hypotheses and methods of analysis, supports studies on data collection methods and measurement, facilitates the education of new researchers, enables the exploration of topics not envisioned by the initial investigators, and permits the creation of new datasets when data from multiple sources are combined. In NIH's view, all data should be considered for data sharing.Data should be made as widely and freely available as possible while safeguarding the privacy of participants, and protecting confidential and proprietary data. To facilitate data sharing, investigators submitting a research application requesting $500,000 or more of direct costs in any single year to NIH on or after October 1, 2003 are expected to include a plan for sharing final research data for research purposes, or state why data sharing is not possible. • APPLICABILITY • The NIH policy on data sharing applies: • To the sharing of final research data for research purposes. • To basic research, clinical studies, surveys, and other types of research supported by NIH. It applies to research that involves human subjects and laboratory research that does not involve human subjects. It is especially important to share unique data that cannot be readily replicated. • To applicants seeking $500,000 or more in direct costs in any year of the proposed project period through grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts. • To research applications submitted beginning October 1, 2003.

27. Remember… • Research is a process, not an event • Our data should live on beyond our project, program, laboratory, career… • Our data should interface/contribute with similar data • Consider large, multi/national databases • What if there was an earthquake, tsunami, tornade • What if traffic engineers and psychologists wanted to talk to one another (cross-disciplinary) How will you manage and distribute your data?
