For your discussion this week, present information on the Data Management section for your DNP Project Proposal. A data management plan (DMP) is a description of how you will handle your data both during your project and after the project is completed. The goal of a data management plan is to consider the many aspects of data management, metadata generation, data preservation, and analysis before the project begins. This ensures that data are well-managed in the present and prepared for preservation in the future. Your data management plan should include information about policies regarding accessing, sharing and reporting data. The DMP should include all data coding and data manipulation methods. The plan should also address any ethical or privacy issues with data sharing and provide information on long-term storage and data destruction.
