Data management section NWO template (pre-award)

NWO's research proposal template includes a section on data management. By answering a number of questions, researchers are asked to consider how they will manage the research data the project will generate and plan for which data will be preserved and be made publicly available. 

• NWO's Data management policy
• General answers data management section NWO (PDF) - We recommend that you to seek advice from the DCC on how to complete this section for your project
• Tool to calculate RDM costs (UU) - Costs for data management should be included in the project budget. 

Delivering a Research Data Management Plan (post-award)

Once your project has been awarded with funding from NWO, you are required to elaborate the data management section into a data management plan (RDMP). The project leader must submit the RDMP to NWO no later than 4 months after the project has been awarded. NWO expects you to consult with support staff from the DCC for the completion of your plan.

There are several ways to make an RDMP in accordance with the requirements of NWO:

• RDMP-webtool (UG / DCC, recommended) - Please contact the DCC to get access to the NWO template in the RDMP-webtool. 
• NWO template (in Word) - Please note that the help provided is very general and not aimed at the UG or your institute.
• DMP online - Please register first, then select NWO as funder. The help provided is very general and not aimed at the UG or your institute.

Data stewards of the DCC are happy to address all of your questions and provide feedback to your Plan!

ZonMw’s data management approach is guided by the FAIR principles. Its policy is aimed at creating reusable data and the reuse of existing data.
