Data Management Plan for ENG Proposals

Beginning in January 2011 (actual implementation date to be announced), a Data Management Plan (DMP) will be required for all new NSF proposals. FastLane will be updated to enable its upload as a separate Supplementary Document. Proposals that do not include the requisite DMP will be stopped from submission. Specific guidance will be included in an upcoming revision to the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide.  Please note, the Engineering Directorate (ENG) will have additional guidance for proposals submitted to ENG programs,  http://nsf.gov/eng/general/ENG_DMP_Policy.pdf.  Detailed instructions, including responses to Frequently Asked Questions will be provided at the time of implementation.  In the meantime, questions and/or suggestions about this new requirement may be addressed to Dr. Maria K. Burka at mburka@nsf.gov
