Custom UBC DMP pre-funding template
A new Data Management Plan (DMP) pre-funding template, now available through DMP Assistant, has been customized for the UBC research community to encourage best practices in research integrity and impact while also supporting researchers to fulfill grant application requirements. Accompanying support guides for the template are also available.
Custom UBC comprehensive (post-award) DMP template
An update to the comprehensive DMP template has also been made available for researchers to complete once funding has been awarded.Both templates include up-to-date guidance specific to the UBC community, directing them towards institutional resources that support sound data management practices.
Both templates and their related guidance were developed in support of the implementation of UBC’s inter-campus Research Data Management Strategy.
To access the templates and their quick guides, see rdm.ubc.ca/dmp-assistant.
We also recently learned of a DMP rubric from the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (DRAC)’s DMP Expert Group. The rubric provides information and guidance to assist with answering the questions in the Alliance Simplified Template in DMP Assistant. The rubric is available through DRAC’s Zenodo collection.
Any grant facilitators or librarians looking to use the rubric should evaluate its relevance before sharing with researchers as not all questions/information provided may apply, and the rubric/template has not yet been adapted to the UBC context.
