1. What is the primary function of a Data Management Plan (DMP) in the context of federally funded research?

   1. To certify that the research has passed all institutional review board requirements
   2. To describe how research data will be collected, organized, stored, and shared throughout and after the project
   3. To provide a budget justification for purchasing computer equipment and cloud storage
   4. To outline the experimental methods and procedures that will be used to generate the data

2. Which task can AI reliably perform when helping draft a Data Management Plan?

   1. Generate a properly formatted DMP in the sponsor's required template structure
   2. Evaluate whether the research involves human subjects requiring special protection
   3. Decide whether the proposed data sharing complies with IRB-approved consent language
   4. Determine what types of data should be shared based on the research ethics implications

3. A researcher is preparing a DMP for a human subjects study. What critical element must be included that AI cannot determine?

   1. The specific consent language approved by the IRB that defines the scope of permissible data sharing
   2. A guarantee that all shared data will remain anonymous indefinitely
   3. A list of all potential future research uses of the data that participants agreed to
   4. The exact number of participants whose data will be shared with external researchers

4. For a project generating large-scale genomic sequencing data, which repository would be most appropriate for long-term preservation and sharing?

   1. PubMed Central
   2. GenBank
   3. YouTube
   4. Dropbox

5. In the FAIR data principles, what does the 'A' in FAIR stand for?

   1. Aggregated
   2. Accessible
   3. Archived
   4. Authoritative

6. A researcher plans to collect longitudinal neuroimaging data from 2,000 adolescent participants. Which element would be most critical to address in the Data Management Plan?

   1. A timeline for publishing the findings before any data is shared
   2. A commitment to share all raw imaging data immediately upon collection
   3. A plan to transfer data to any researcher who requests it without restriction
   4. Provisions for protecting participant identity given the sensitive nature of neuroimaging data combined with participant ages

7. What metadata standard would be most appropriate for documenting social science survey data collected over multiple years?

   1. MP3
   2. DDI (Data Documentation Initiative)
   3. HTML
   4. JPEG

8. Why might an AI-generated Data Management Plan require human review before submission?

   1. AI cannot make formatting errors in complex templates
   2. Human review is only needed for the budget section, not the DMP itself
   3. AI may include incorrect or inappropriate repository recommendations that do not fit the specific data type
   4. AI always generates perfect documents that need no review

9. What is a key limitation of using AI to draft Data Management Plans?

   1. AI lacks the ability to write in complete sentences
   2. AI cannot make substantive judgments about what data should be shared and with whom
   3. AI cannot access information about sponsor-specific requirements
   4. AI will refuse to generate documents longer than one paragraph

10. Which metadata standard is specifically designed for microarray gene expression experiments?

    1. Dublin Core
    2. JSON
    3. PDF
    4. MIAME

11. Under what circumstances would a Data Management Plan need to be updated during a research project?

    1. When new data types are generated that were not originally anticipated
    2. When all data has been published
    3. When the principal investigator decides to change universities
    4. When the grant funding period ends

12. When selecting a data repository, what factor should be considered regarding long-term preservation?

    1. Whether the repository has the lowest storage costs available
    2. Whether the repository is based in the same country as the researcher
    3. Whether the repository allows unlimited file sizes
    4. Whether the repository commits to format migration and digital preservation for the anticipated duration of data usefulness

13. Why do many federal grant sponsors now require Data Management Plans as part of the application?

    1. To ensure research data will be managed responsibly and made available for future use by the scientific community
    2. To reduce the amount of funding available for data storage and personnel
    3. To allow sponsors to take ownership of the research data generated
    4. To require all researchers to use the same data analysis methods

14. What type of data would be most appropriately stored in the ICPSR repository?

    1. Protein structure data
    2. Census survey data with sensitive demographic information
    3. Code software repositories
    4. Streaming video from field research

15. A researcher wants to share data that could potentially identify research participants. What should the Data Management Plan specify?

    1. That no metadata will be shared along with the data
    2. That the data will be deleted immediately after the grant period ends
    3. What safeguards will be in place, such as de-identification or controlled access, to protect participant identity
    4. That the data will be freely available to anyone without restrictions
