DMS Plan BUDGET - Tool KIT
Developing a a budget to support a DMS plan is highly dependent on the data that
will support the research. The NIH lists
Allowable Costs to support data management plans. The costs must
be incurred during the performance period.
Unallowable costs are infrastructure costs that are included in institutional overhead,
costs associated with routine conduct of research, including collecting or gaining
access to data, and costs that are double charged or inconsistently charged as
both direct and indirect costs.
Considerations include the amount, type, and complexity of the data, data standards
and
FAIR compliance, data curation, de-identification, institutional (local)
data management requirements, and repository fees.
NIST strongly recommends compliance with the FAIR principles.
