Service Statement: The Research Data Management Services Team (RDMST) offers consultation services for data management planning to researchers applying for grant funding from agencies requiring a data management plan (DMP). We ask for a minimum of two weeks in which to help you develop a DMP. For requests made fewer than two weeks before a grant proposal deadline, we encourage you to read through the toolkit carefully and email RDMST with questions and concerns: UL-RDMST@lists.psu.edu .
