Data Management Plan

Outlines how the data will be processed, stored, used, and discarded throughout the process. It describes the data management life cycle for all data sets that will be collected, processed, or generated by the action. It is a document describing what data will be collected, processed, or generated and following what methodology and standards, whether and how this data will be shared and/or made open, and how it will be curated and preserved. It outlines how research data will be handled during the action, and after it is completed. The Plan will not be a fixed document; it evolves and gains more precision and substance during the lifespan of the project.
