Drivers – funder policies DMPs are a core element of funder policies on data management and sharing Wellcome recently moved from requiring DMPs to broader Output Management Plans (OMPs) covering data, software, materials and IP Implementation of policies still a work in progress – quality of plans; costing of plans; tracking compliance Potentially huge untapped potential in DMPs/OMPs which Wellcome and other funders keen to unlock https://wellcome.ac.uk/funding/managing-grant/policy-data-software-materials-management-and-sharing

Opportunities enhancing quality and consistency of DMP/OMPs enabling DMPs/OMPs to be dynamic and actively used facilitating compliance monitoring making DMPs/OMPs discoverable – facilitating data access and re-use, sparking collaboration, reducing duplication linking plans to resulting outputs via persistent identifiers

Making the case Demonstrating the value – to what extent will it what will be the level or interest and demand Addressing potential researcher concerns – need for embargoes, or opt-out/opt-in Minimising any additional burden on researchers Making it work technically with funder grant systems Dr Jonathan Clarke, Wellcome Images
