Funder policies

All major research funders require that publications issued with their funding are made open access, and that all issued research data and methods are as FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) as possible. Further, many of them require a data management plan (DMP) from grant beneficiaries.

For downloadable funder DMP templates and guidelines, see the DMPTuuli listing.

For JYU guidelines for writing your DMP, see here.

The table below outlines policies of some Finnish funding organizations. For detailed information on international funder policies, please see Sherpa/Juliet database.
