1. How can Data Management Plans be used to attain the goals of sharable and discoverable data for all CMMI programs?
How should we evaluate the DMP?
What level of emphasis should be place on the DMP – specific criteria for evaluation versus simply compliance (2 page extra)?
Should we use criteria similar to those used for intellectual merit and broader impacts to evaluate the DMP?
What criteria should be used?
Should proposers be required to provide information on the datasets developed (last 3, 5, ? Years)?
Should data sharing be part of “Broader Impacts” and hence part of the criteria of for proposal evaluation by default?
Should NSF encourage proposals specify funding (beyond incremental) for making data public?
i.e., funding dedicated to making data public and justified as an expenditure
Should NSF provide supplemental funding for making data public?
Post grant awards like REU funding (5-10K) or supplemental funds as part of the grant request from a pool within CMMI or ENG (10-30K)

2. How can Data Management Plans be used to attain the goals of sharable and discoverable data for all CMMI programs?
More specific requirements
Domain experts are writing and evaluarting data management plans
How are DMPs enforced?
Require universities to store and distribute data
DMP is the problem - yes/no
Very little data from some existing requirements
Machine actionable DMPs – living document that gets filled in
Digital Curation Center

3. How can Data Management Plans be used to attain the goals of sharable and discoverable data for all CMMI programs?
DMP tool Calif Digital library
Use SEED or GLOBUS? Libraries
Proposal mostly about Intellectual Merit
Will you release your data – if not why
Will you contribute to a repository – Which one?
Address sustainability
What will you do to make your data reusable?
Checklist vs. criteria?
Researchers say they will send data to repository, but may not be the right one

4. How can Data Management Plans be used to attain the goals of sharable and discoverable data for all CMMI programs?
NO extra rules Can have guidance
Have a system that helps develop a DMP
DMP helps people think about curating data ahead of time
DMP progress in annual report – Program mangers monitor
List registries of repositories
Provide guidance of what to address – best practices, flexibity
Minimum – Is it sufficient.
Can go beyond that as part of Broader Impacts
Good vs. bad DMP

5. How can Data Management Plans be used to attain the goals of sharable and discoverable data for all CMMI programs?
Cal and Mich have templates for DMPs
Deep Blue data at Umich
Data library support
More emphasis on DMP in NSF peer review
More than a checklist
DMP tool and customize it for your University
Want reviewers looking for – beyond storing the data – Discoverable!
Some DMP templates don’t address sharing

6. How can Data Management Plans be used to attain the goals of sharable and discoverable data for all CMMI programs?
Previous work should discuss dissemination of data
Research Council of UK requires what you are currently doing w data – Ongoing monitoring
Annual report does not control funding
Monitoring vs. IF not, then…
Data sharing in biosketch
Standardized could be good, if done well
Caught by Program Managers or by Reviewers?
Guidance to reviewers to consider DMP
