data-management-plan is a skill for Claude Code from muhammad1438/academic-writer-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,722 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing a data management plan, a document explaining how research data will be collected, organised, stored, shared, and preserved. It covers requirements from funders such as NIH, NSF, UKRI, EPSRC, and Horizon Europe.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare or review a grant data plan, choose a repository and file formats, describe access controls, apply FAIR principles, and set sharing and retention arrangements.
Why use it?
It helps meet funder requirements and plan for data access, security, formats, metadata, repositories, sensitive information, and long-term preservation before a project begins.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

data-management-plan scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Data Management Plan

A Data Management Plan (DMP) is a formal document describing how research data will be collected, organised, stored, shared, and preserved during and after a project. DMPs are now mandatory for most major research funders.


Funder Requirements Comparison

Funder Policy Name DMP Required Page Limit Key Requirements
NIH (US) NIH DMS Policy (Jan 2023) Yes — all research producing scientific data No page limit specified (typically 2–3 pages) Sharing plan for all data; timeline; metadata; access controls
NSF (US) NSF Data Management Plan Yes — all proposals 2 pages maximum Per-directorate requirements vary; sharing strategy; formats; access
UKRI UKRI Open Access Policy + Concordat Yes — project proposals Varies; typically 2–3 pages Active DMP; FAIR principles; repository deposit within 3 months
EPSRC (UK) EPSRC Research Data Policy Yes No specific limit 10-year retention; "as open as possible, as closed as necessary"
EU Horizon Europe Horizon Europe DMP Guidelines Yes — living DMP No limit (living document) FAIR principles mandatory; DMP submitted at M6, updated M18 and M36
Wellcome Trust Wellcome Data, Software, Materials Policy Yes Not specified Rapid data sharing; CC0/CC BY licence preferred
ERC ERC Open Research Data Yes (for most) Not specified FAIR principles; linked to Open Research Europe

NIH DMS Policy (Effective January 25, 2023)

Applies to: All NIH-funded research that generates scientific data (including competitive renewals for grants submitted after Jan 25, 2023).

Required elements:

  1. Types of data produced (scientific data, metadata, code)
  2. Standards and formats used
  3. Data preservation, access, and sharing timelines
  4. Access, distribution, and reuse considerations
  5. Oversight of DMP implementation

Sharing timeline: Data shared no later than the time of publication of results or end of the period of performance, whichever comes first.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

data-management-plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository muhammad1438/academic-writer-skills (6 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,722 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
