The University of Alabama has joined the DMPTool [1] community to provide assistance in constructing data management plans for grant proposals. Arrangements have been made to customize the DMPTool for UA use. This support is provided via a partnership among the Office of Research [2], Office of Information Technology [3], and University Libraries [4].

Steps to Get Started

Become aware of the OIT data managment services [5] available on campus and shared server/storage resources and costs [6]. (You may freely cut and paste from these documents into your plan.)
Log into DMPTool [1] with your campus myBama login credentials.
Select a funding agency, and begin creating your data management plan.

For assistance or questions, contact Tom Wilson, Associate Dean [7], Libraries.

Please send comments on the usefulness and suggestions for improvement of the DMPTool or UA's support for data management to: RDMPHELP@LISTSERV.UA.EDU [8]
