Overview
• Most agencies have or are developing data management
policies or guidelines
• As an investigator
• You may need to discuss data management in your proposals in order
to obtain funding
• You may need to follow agency mandates in regards to managing or
archiving the data you generate in order to retain funded status

Agencies requiring data management
discussion in proposals
• NSF requires a two page data management plan submitted
with all proposals
• Many NASA Earth Science solicitations require a discussion
of data management in submitted proposals
• NOAA requires that NOAA grantees include a Data Sharing
Plan as part of their project narrative
• Proposals to the USGS National Climate Change and
Wildlife Science Center or any of the Department of the
Interiors Climate Science Centers require a Proposal Data
Management Plan

Agencies with data management
mandates
• Many NSF directorates and even specific solicitations have
detailed requirements for what data should be archived and
where the data should go
• All NASA Earth Science science missions, projects, and
grants and cooperative agreements require a data
management plan
• NOAA is in the process of developing a comprehensive
suite of data management related procedural directives
covering all NOAA-related data activities
• USGS NCCWSC and DOI CSC funded projects must
develop and maintain a Research Data Management Plan
