After reviewing the DMP basics, our attendees will work in small groups on an assigned research data scenario (example - http://goo.gl/Vut6dE). The groups will be creating a real data management plan and using online DMP Builder software to prepare the case for funding submission. At the end of the session, we will reconvene to share experiences and learn from each other.
