[Rdap] Deciding when a Data Management Plan is not required?

[Aletia Morgan]

Greetings - I'm working with PIs on reviewing DMP documents that are part
of NSF proposals, and I am wondering about whether a DMP is needed.

 

The project involves staging a meeting with researchers in the discipline,
with a goal that includes the development of plans for future research. 

 

Obviously, there's no experimental data here, and the output is
essentially a narrative document.  The PI asserts that "This proposal does
not seek to collect environmental data. A data management plan is not

required."

 

If a conference is being organized, notes are taken, documents are being
written.   Is there a need to say how these records will be developed and
preserved?  Or am I being too compulsive!

 

Thanks for any thoughts, and if there might be a better place to ask this
question.

 

Regards,

Aletia
