Data Management & Sharing Plans

Successful management and protection of information and data are critical to the administrative, clinical, educational, and research functions of West Virginia University (WVU). The sharing of research data at the preliminary phase of the proposed research project, as well as the sharing of collected research data after publication or with the sponsor, are situations that require effective data management planning. In addition, many Federal funding agencies, such as the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, now require researchers to supply detailed, cost-effective plans for managing research data, called Data Management Plans (DMP).
