This check sheet offers guidance on writing a data management plan based on National Science Foundation requirements. This guidance can help researchers who are applying for external funding and who intend to publish their data, data collection protocols, or instruments via the DesignSafe Cyberinfrastructure. About the CONVERGE Extreme Events Research Check Sheets Series: The National Science Foundation-supported CONVERGE facility at the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder has developed a series of short, graphical check sheets that are meant to be used as researchers design their studies, prepare to enter the field, conduct field research, and exit the field. The series offers best practices for extreme events research and includes check sheets that are free to the research community.
