Funding, News and Announcements

Portage is pleased to have published eight new discipline- and methodology-specific Data Management Plans (DMPs) Templates in English and French. These Templates cover a range of disciplines and research methods, highlight best practices for DMPs in those disciplines, and provide tailored guidance for researchers writing their own DMPs. Initiated by a Portage funding call in April 2020, they are the result of hard work on the part of exceptional Researchers, Librarians, and Information Professionals in the Portage community, and members of the Portage Secretariat with whom they collaborated. 

The following DMP Templates are now available:

• CRDCN: Accessing Data from Research Data Centres
• CRDCN: Research Data Centres and External Analysis
• History and the Humanities
• Neuroimaging in the Neurosciences
• Open Science Workflows
• Studying Molecular Interactions
• Systematic Reviews
• Water Quality Research

Portage has released a total of thirteen DMP Templates. These Templates are available on Portage Training Resources under DMP Templates as well as in the Portage Zenodo Community. They are also available and embedded for use and institutional customization in the DMP Assistant.
