Does your upcoming proposal require a DMP? BPC? Safe & Inclusive Plan? Other supplemental document you’ve never used before? 

Join the PDO to learn what resources are available to help you craft strong, accurate supplemental plans and documentation. We’ll provide an overview of a variety of plans, familiar and new, and let you know which funding agencies and programs required which documents. We’ll also show you where to access templates and boilerplate language to simplify the drafting process and provide information about support available within NCSA and across campus. Lunch will be provided for those who attend the session in person.
