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. Please note that the data management plan can no longer be updated once both the applicant and the site of research have accepted the funding. A new version of the data management plan can be attached as additional information to the funding decision.
The consortium has a single joint data management plan and only the consortium leader will submit the plan when 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.
