The Tri-Agency Research Data Management (RDM) Policy requires that applicants to certain Tri-Agency funding opportunities submit data management plans (DMPs) with their applications. The Tri-Agency includes the three federal research funding agencies — the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The list below identifies funding opportunities that require DMPs. For recurring funding opportunities, the date refers to the competition when the DMP requirement was introduced. Additional funding opportunities may pilot DMPs and be added to this list in the future.

Further integration of the DMP requirement into agency programming will be informed by engagement with applicants, peer reviewers and other stakeholders, and will be in step with research data practices in Canada and internationally.
