• DMPonline (DCC, n.d.)
• RDMP Webtool (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, n.d.)
• ELIXIR Data Stewardship Wizard (ELIXIR, n.d., a domain-specific DMP generator which originates from the life sciences). 

The report contains recommendations for data supporters who are involved in offering DMP advice to researchers within their own institution. According to the authors, the advantages of an online application are:

• The DMP is easy to manage (version management, working with multiple authors);  
• The DMPs are stored centrally;
• Automatic links with other systems, such as a CRIS system, are possible (or will become possible in the future). 

Of the institutions in the Netherlands that have already started implementing DMP Online, the majority of them have placed their institutional template, a DMP template that is tailored to their own organisation, in the DCC environment.   

A fourth online DMP tool that is available is easy.DMP by Eudat (Eudat, n.d.). 

DMP policy of research funders

Research funders usually expect that awareness of data management is part of the project application. The underlying motive of research funders is to promote honest research and FAIR research data. They are of the opinion that research data, produced as part of a publicly funded research project, should at least be traceable and preferably be freely available for reuse and verification.

Below you will find some examples of research funders and their data management requirements. These institutions usually provide this information directly to researchers, but as a data supporter you can expect questions from researchers about it.
