Data Management Planning  

We can help you get your data management plan together.

Staff at the NYU Libraries and Data Services are prepared to assist researchers who need to develop a data management plan and make recommendations. Subject Specialist Librarians and Data Services staff are available to consult on data curation issues including issues related to documentation, metadata standards and creation, and the identification of appropriate data repositories. Visit us at:

NYU Data Services
Bobst Library, 5th Floor
70 Washington Square South

You can also request an appointment to discuss your data management plan needs.

Many key granting organizations, like NSF, NIH, NEH and more, now require submitters to include a Data Management Plan as part of their application. In short, these plans outline what steps the applicant will take to collect, safeguard, archive, and make available the data used for the research in question.

This guide lays out practical considerations and information to aid you in preparing your Data Management Plan, and leads you to a Data Management Plan Tool that you can use to create your plan. You can see some more background on this issue, or get started by selecting a tab at the top of the page.

Good luck in your application!
