Wellcome Trust's new policy on data, software and materials management and sharing

Moving from DMPs to outputs management plans

How the new policy is different
"This new policy supersedes our previous policy on data management and sharing, and recognises the need for a more holistic view of outputs management.  
We recognise that in addition to data outputs, many of our funded researchers generate original software and research materials, such as antibodies, cell lines or reagents. These are of significant value to other researchers and are crucial to anyone seeking to validate or replicate the research.
The key change is that if you’re applying for funding you will now be asked to provide a broader outputs management plan that sets out how you will manage and share significant data, software or materials to ensure the greatest benefit to health and research."
