Requirements can vary depending on each programme and call. Support is available at your local research support and RDM departments. The following information is only a general overview:

• DMP? The BMBF generally expects a re-use plan or information on how the data will be re-used.
• Publish what? usually research results
• Publish where? in a repository - depends on your funding programme!
• Publish when? generally at the latest at the end of the project
• Archive for how long? depends on your funding programme, but DFG guidelines for good scientific practice stipulating 10 years apply
• Other requirements: depends on your specific funding programme
• RDM costs: depends on the call

More information:

• information on new funding programmes and guidelines
• federal funding portal

• DMP? Not obligatory, but it is recommended to give information on what data are generated that might be relevant for third parties in the proposal. This can be done within the work package plan, for example.
• Publish what? research data, unless third party rights (especially data protection, copyright) are affected
• Publish where? if possible on a discipline-specific, federal/international platform
• Publish when? as early as possible
• Archive for how long? At least 10 years for research data according to good scientific practice.
• Other requirements: "Data should be made accessible at a stage of processing that allows it to be usefully reused by third parties (raw data or structured data). To make sure this is the case, it must be ensured that access to the data is still guaranteed when, through publication, the rights of use relating to research data are transferred to a third party, usually a publishing house."
• RDM costs: "Project costs associated with making research data available for future reuse can be requested with your project."

• Guidelines on the Handling of Research Data

• DMP? Most funding programmes require a DMP. A first draft has to be handed in with the proposal. A final DMP has to be handed in at the latest by the end of the project. The DMP is not part of the project evaluation.
• Publish what? research data that underly a publication unless legal (specifically copyright or data protection-related) reasons or other ethical concerns make it unfeasible to do so. These reasons have to be explained in the DMP. The mere mention of the data being sensitive is not sufficient.
• Publish where? on any digital, non-commercial, scientifically renowned repository while applying the FAIR Principles
• Publish when? as early as possible, at the latest upon publication of the related findings
• Other requirements: Generally data should be maintained for ten years. The data have to be made publicly available in a timely manner, but at the latest upon completion of the project in order to facilitate reproducibility of the results and re-use, unless legal (specifically copyright or data protection-related) reasons or other ethical concerns make it unfeasible to do so.
• RDM costs: Costs related to the upload (but not download), processing and validation (data stewardship) of data can be applied for with the SNF. The SNF reimburses costs up to a sum of 10,000 Swiss francs. This is not applicable to long-term data maintenance.

More information:

• SNF Open Research Data Information

• DMP? Yes, has to be handed in together with the proposal for an approved project. The final version has to be delivered to FWF together with the final report.
• Publish what? all research data and comparable materials that are needed for reproduction and transparency of the results, exceptions can be made if legal or ethical reasons make open access to the data unfeasible. This has to be explained in the DMP as well as if no data are being generated or analysed.
• Publish where? On a repository listed in re3data, a Core Trust Seal certified repository is recommended
• Publish when? as early as possible, at the latest upon the publication of the related results
• Other requirements: FAIR Principles as well as Science Europe’s Core Requirements for Data Management Plans have to be applied
• RDM costs: Project costs associated with processing or archiving data as well as making them re-usable and openly accessible in a repository can be applied for.
