Data Management and Sharing Plans 101 Online

 

Date and Time: 11:00AM–12:00PM, Wednesday, May 27, 2026 (Rescheduled from April 22)

Location: Zoom (link provided upon registration)

Lead Instructor: Maricela Abarca (Data Curator for Interdisciplinary Sustainability)

 

Federal funding agencies, for example the National Science Foundation (NSF) require Data Management and Sharing Plans (DMSPs) to be submitted with proposals. Proposal submission guidelines include physical samples as research data. DMSPs describe how funded projects “will manage, disseminate, and share research results”.

This workshop will introduce common sections of Data Management and Sharing Plans and how to fill them out successfully. Attendees will learn how to start a plan, how to improve one, and where to get tailored help with DMSPs on campus. We will also review changes to NSF guidelines going into effect this year regarding DMSPs in proposal submissions. Attendees are also welcome to bring any in-progress plans for feedback. 

Please register to attend. Registration is exclusively open to current Stanford Affiliates.
