What Can You Do?
Once logged in, you may create DMPs for your project using a template for your funding agency.
- Submit for review: Once you have created your plan, you may submit it for review right from the DMPTool itself. The review request will come to a member of the Data Management Services team.
- Export your plan: Plans can be exported into Microsoft Word or PDF formats at any time.
- Test plans: If you are just testing, there is an option to create test plans. There is a generic template in case you wish to create a plan not associated with any funder.
