[BIC-announce] Data management plan (DMP) for Neuroimaging studies. Request for feedback

[Theodore J P Strauss, Mr]

Hello BIC,
I've been working on a project to develop a data management plan (DMP) template specific for neuroimaging studies. This was initiated by the Portage Network; for background see here<https://portagenetwork.ca/news/portage-funding-call-for-development-of-discipline-specific-dmp-templates/>. Once finalized, this tool would be used to plan for the data needs of a project, and to communicate those plans to different stakeholders. The tri-agency funders may soon require -and already recommend- DMPs as part of grant proposals.

See the first draft of the DMP template for neuroimaging studies here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/15Mt_EQoWX4LbaXX_9P6cndrmYd-66KtvrllwD7mMdQg/edit?usp=sharing>. Your feedback directly on the google doc would be greatly appreciated!

Never heard of a DMP? Here's a little background:
*         What is a DMP? A formal plan describing how research data are managed throughout the lifecycle of a research project. Click here 1<https://portagenetwork.ca/planning-managing-data/frequently-asked-questions/> for more details.
*         What is a DMP template? A series of questions, arranged into sections, that helps a researcher prepare their DMP. The template will eventually be loaded onto a web-based software called the DMP Assistant (here 1<https://assistant.portagenetwork.ca/>).

Questions while reviewing:
*         Would you fill out the DMP questions for your study? Or would that be a unreasonable burden?
*         How could the questions be improved?
*         Would you drop any of the questions?
*         Is the granularity of the questions below appropriate?

Thanks

Ted
