Hi,
In case you have not run into working with a regional transportation center (or any type of center) on their data management plan for a project which included multiple universities.
Instructions for the DMP
The Grantee must create a supplementary document labeled "Data Management Plan" (DMP) that describes its strategy for processing and archiving Digital Data Sets resulting from DOT-funded scientific research in a  repository  that  enables  and  allows  for  public  access  and  sharing. The  DMP  must  be  submitted  to  the Office  of  the  Assistant  Secretary  for  Research  and  Technology  (OST-R)  Grant  Manager  for  review  and  approval.  DMPs that do not meet the minimum requirements, provided below, will be rejected.
* A  high-level  description  of  the  types  of  data  that  the  Center  anticipates  gathering  in  the  course  of conducting  research activities, including whether the data should be preserved for long -term access;
*A  proposed  outline  of  the  standards  and  machine-readable formats that will be used for the entire scope of research activities;
*A  description  of  any  data  access  policies  that  govern  (and  prevent)  the  disclosure  of  identities, confidential  business  information,  national  security  information,  etc., and  whether  public  use  files  may be generated from the data;
* A general discussion of policies for re-use and re-distribution of research data; and
* A high-level description of how, when, and where the Center plans to archive, preserve, and deposit the research data.

The DMPTool has a DOT template, but nothing for transportation center grants. This DMP I was working on actually looked like it was for the lead center, but the researcher I was working with found a DOT DMP created with the DMPTool  https://dmptool.org/plans/25346.pdf.
Turns out this DMP is written from a Centers viewpoint and addressing what each group and researcher must follow. The grant was funded.
