What are the different questionnaires used for?

The FAU RDMO installation currently offers:

  • RDMO standard questionnaire, name: RDMO
    This is the basic questionnaire provided by the RDMO development team. It covers all major topics in data management, and is quite detailed. Since the questionnaire was not designed with a specific subject or discipline in mind, some aspects are only addressed briefly.
    This questionnaire is suitable for planning data management at the start of a project, or ideally, before its start.
  • RDMO questionnaire with additional information for the humanities. name: RDMO with information for humanities
    The questions are almost identical to those in the standard RDMO catalog. Some of the questions will provide additional information or examples for the humanities.
  • Catalogue for Horizon 2020 projects, Name: Horizon 2020 Catalogue
    This questionnaire follows the ERC’s guidelines and templates for H2020 projects. Additional information and recommendations are provided that are not part of the H2020 questionnaire. However, all questions are taken directly from the official ERC templates. Therefore, it is recommended that you use the English version. You will need to change the language to English.
  • A DMP template for DFG project / grant applications, DFG grants
    It collects the DFG requirements/recommendations mentioned in the application guidelines, as well as the discipline-independent “Guidelines for Research Data.” The questionnaire can be used for standard DFG projects and CRC proposals.
    Note: Some disciplines must consider additional requirements (see the DFG’s discipline-specific guidelines). This applies in particular to the following disciplines: edition science, (corpus) linguistics, educational sciences, die economic sciences, psychology and biodiversity research. Currently, only some of these requirements are included in the questionnaire.
    However, the number of discipline-specific DFG questionnaires is growing. Each has a name in the format DFG grants (DISCIPLINE) and covers the most important DFG requirements for a specific discipline. Please also refer to the linked guidelines. The DFG frequently updates these.

Note that some disciplines have tailored DMP tools. For example, consider using DataWiz, a tool developed by the Leibniz Center for Psychological Information and Documentation, for psychology projects, and the GFBio DMPT for biodiversity research projects. DataWiz, in particular, addresses the intricacies of psychological research projects in far more detail than RDMO.
