It broke down the types of data in a table. This included things like reports from the group, the model design, etc. It described formats of these documents (PDF and spreadsheets, mostly) and what type of metadata (eg. author names, dates, copyright, etc) would be embedded in them. The data sharing section described how documents would be shared and accessed by members of the research group during the "discovery" period (including the URLs of relevant wikis and file sharing sites) and also how the results would be disseminated afterwards, including who the target audiences would be, URLs for sites where the results would be published, and stated what the policies for re-use of results would be Finally, there was a section on long term archiving, which mentioned how long documents would be kept, on whose computer, etc., and plans to archive/share the results with <a href="http://archive.org">archive.org</a>. In total, this DMP is about 1.5 pages long.</div><div><br></div><div>Of course, it's too early to know how successful this approach will be with NSF reviewers but I thought it might help to share this much.</div><div><br></div><div>Jan</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Apr 21, 2011, at 3:43 PM, Aletia Morgan wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; "><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">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.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">The project involves staging a meeting with researchers in the discipline, with a goal that includes the development of plans for future research.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Obviously, there’s no experimental data here, and the output is essentially a narrative document.
