Data Management Services

This guide will assist Clemson researchers in managing their data, and includes information on creating Data Management Plans for funding agencies.

Why Data Management?

Several funding agencies, including the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, now have requirements for data management plans to be submitted as part of some, or all (depending on the agency) grant proposals. However, even if your funding agency does not require a data management plan, creating one will assist you in managing your research. 

Data Management Terminology

DMP Review Service

The Libraries' Data Management Services Group is now offering to review drafts of data management plans before they must be turned in to the Office for Sponsored Programs.

We request a lead time of one (1) week; drafts can be sent to CUdatamgmt@lists.clemson.edu and will be kept confidential within our small team of librarians that are familiar with data management issues. If you have any questions about this service, please email the previously mentioned list.
