Data management planning

To help you manage research data throughout the project lifecycle, the Research Services team has developed a data management plan (DMP) template for use by University of Leeds researchers. We recommend that you fill out this template when you are asked to submit a DMP as part of an ethics review application or a PhD Transfer.

You can view and complete the University DMP template on DMPonline or by downloading a copy from this page.
