Web pages feature DMPs
Web pages about data management plans (DMPs) describe the Consortium’s capabilities to develop and implement project specific proposals. To satisfy requirements from funders like the National Science Foundation (NSF) that researchers deposit data in an accessible, trustworthy repository, LDC provides archiving services and makes data publicly available at a reasonable cost while protecting intellectual property rights and privacy concerns.
Browse the pages to learn more about the advantages of data center distribution, the details of NSF DMP requirements and the infrastructures and processes LDC has in place for storing and distributing resources over the long-term.
Curation and Distribution Services
LDC offers a range of services that meet NSF’s requirements for data management plans and can be customized for a project’s particular needs.
Data Curation
The curation process is composed of four basic steps.

Details of NSF DMP Requirements
All applicants for National Science Foundation funding must include a Data Management Plan (DMP) that describes how a proposal will implement sharing and dissemination of research data and results.
The NSF Data Sharing Policy reads:
