- The Tri-Agencies (NSERC, CIHR, and SSHRC) have developed new policies requiring grant recipients to submit DMPs. Find the policy here.
- DMPs allow researchers to implement a consistent strategy throughout the project, which helps with collaboration between team members.
- Strengths and weaknesses can be identified early on, so that the team can prepare for any future issues regarding data.
- Having a detailed plan can reduce research costs and improve efficiency.
- DMPs also reduce the likelihood that data may be lost or made unusable throughout the project.
