Research Council of Finland DMP

The process at the University of Turku following a positive funding decision from the Research Council of Finland

As a condition for the funding granted by the Research Council of Finland, the responsible researcher must submit a data management plan to the Research Council within eight weeks of receiving the positive funding decision. In addition to the researcher, both the University of Turku and the researcher's unit must also commit to the content of the plan before the funding can be accepted as received.

The consortium has a single joint data management plan and only the consortium leader will submit the plan during while approving the funding. Also in a consortium, all the organisations involved need to commit to the content. All consortium sub-projects must accept their own funding in the RCF's SARA-system, after the PI has attached the DMP into SARA.

1.	Draft your data management plan using the DMP-Tuuli tool. 2.	Send your DMP to openutu@utu.fi for evaluation by the university data services by June 30, 2024. 3.	Also, the DMP should be sent to the representative of your institution (often the head of department) 4.	After receiving feedback, make necessary revisions and send the DMP to openutu@utu.fi  5.	Send the finalized plan to the controller of your faculty or department at controller@utu.fi. 6.	Attach the DMP to the SARA system of the Research Council of Finland. Following this, the institutional representative approves the funding via the Research Council´s online services within eight weeks from the decision date.
