Select Brown University from the dropdown list and log-in using your Brown credentials. The DMPTool provides templates for federal funders requiring a data management plan (DMP) as well as several private/foundation funders. Select your funder from the list and then click 'Create Plan'; the tool allows you to draft plans directly in your account and guides you through writing each section. You can save plans as well as export copies into several document and machine-readable formats. Contact data_management@Brown.edu for assistance with using DMPTool.
