Depending on the funding organisation, there are different requirements for research data management. The costs incurred for corresponding measures, e.g. to increase reusability, can partly be claimed in the context of applications.
The DFG provides a summary of all information on the page Handling of Research Data. Included is a checklist that should be consulted when submitting proposals. Depending on the specific funding programme, there may be additional information. If costs are incurred to make data re-usable and accessible, these can be applied for.
In TUdmo we implemented a catalog especially for the DFG checklist that guides you through each question.

The Horizon Europe programme is based on the paradigm of Open Science. The credo for research data is “as open as possible – as closed as necessary”. This means that the goal is primarily to make the resulting research data available as open data, although this can be waived in justified cases.
The creation of a data management plan is obligatory as a deliverable within the project after six months at the latest. A template is provided for this purpose, which is primarily aimed at the FAIR principles. In addition, however, the handling of research data must also be described in the application.

The BMBF does not make any general specifications for research data management. Depending on the funding programme, there are few or very high requirements for data management. With the Research Data Action Plan, the BMBF also supports projects on data-related research, standardisation and the teaching of data skills.
