The National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC) and Climate Science Center Data Management Plan Guidance template adopted by the Great Plains LCC. Project proposals funded by the GPLCC should deliver a DMP using the NCCWSC/CSC template within three (3) months of proposal acceptance. Ideally, the DMP should be delivered and approved before funds are provided to the PI. However, if this process causes delay of project implementation, the Coordinator and PI may negotiate and alternate schedule.
