Data Management Plan for SBE Proposals and Awards


May 15, 2018

Proposals submitted to NSF must include a supplementary document of no more than two pages labeled “Data Management Plan” (DMP).  This supplementary document should describe how the proposal will conform to NSF policy on the dissemination and sharing of research results.  Proposals that do not include a DMP will not be able to be submitted.  NSF’s general data sharing policy and data management plan requirements are available at https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/dmp.jsp.

The SBE Directorate has additional background and guidance for proposals submitted to SBE programs. Please see Data Management for SBE Directorate Proposals and Awards for detailed information concerning this policy. Some SBE programs have specific requirements in addition to the directorate's requirements. Please check the program's webpage, and direct questions to your program officer.
