Write a data management plan for a grant or project
A funder-ready data management plan covering data types, formats, storage, metadata, sharing, and preservation.
The prompt
Write a data management plan (DMP) for my research project.
Funder and template: [e.g. "NSF", "NIH DMS policy", "Horizon Europe", "UKRI", or PASTE the required headings]
Page or word limit: [DETAILS]
Project summary: [1-2 paragraphs]
Data I will create or reuse: [types, approximate volume, formats, instruments or software]
Sensitive or restricted data: [personal data, commercial, third-party licenses]
Institutional resources: [storage, repository, data steward support]
Planned repository for sharing: [NAME or "need suggestions"]
Cover: data description; standards and metadata; file naming and version control; storage, backup, and security during the project; ethics, consent, and legal restrictions on sharing; what will be shared, when, under what license, and in which repository (with persistent identifiers); long-term preservation; roles and responsibilities; and costs.
Apply FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) and explain any data that cannot be shared and why.
Return the DMP under the funder's headings within the limit, plus a short list of commitments I must actually carry out, with timing. Mark repository names, costs, and institutional policies I have not confirmed as [CONFIRM].
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
