IEP Data Management Plans

Data Management Plans (DMPs) are documents that capture and share essential information from data providers of IEP studies to ensure proper accommodation for their data management needs and practices.

DMPs are usually developed as a first step of a project to identify the format and subject matter of data being collected, methods for housing and sharing data, and quality control steps. DMPs are updated throughout the life of the dataset to identify changing needs and resources.

They establish a common understanding of the data for long-term maintenance beyond the point of initial submission and processing.

DMPs include essential components such as:

  • Contact info
  • Data description
  • Metadata description
  • Backups
  • Archiving
  • Sharing
  • Formats
  • Quality assurance
  • Rights and requirements

2021 Data Management Plans available upon request by sending an email to iep@wildlife.ca.gov.
