      ab: As of January 2011, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has required a data management plan (DMP) as part of all grant proposals. Georgia Tech's librarians and information technologists presented DMP development guidelines to support the requirement and later examined 181 plans submitted in the first eight months of 2011. The review revealed only 22 percent referred to Georgia Tech's institutional repository, SMARTech. The schools submitting the greatest percentage of proposals were not most likely to reference SMARTech, nor was there consistency in referencing the university repository within schools. The language used to describe SMARTech was highly variable, drawn from various sources and widely shared. Public online collaboration tools were also referenced in proposals. The analysis indicates inconsistent understanding of the university's data repository services, the need for consistent descriptive language and the need to target specific schools for outreach, all in partnership with researchers.
