Christie A. Wiley and Margaret H. Burnette have published "Assessing Data Management Support Needs of Bioengineering and Biomedical Research Faculty" in the Journal of eScience Librarianship.
Here's an excerpt:
Results: This study revealed the majority of researchers explore broad research topics, various file storage solutions, generate numerous amounts of data and adhere to differing discipline-specific practices. Researchers expressed both familiarity and unfamiliarity with DMP Tool. Roughly half of the researchers interviewed reported having documented protocols for file names, file backup, and file storage. Findings also suggest that there is ambiguity about what it means to share research data and confusion about terminology such as "repository" and "data deposit". Many researchers equate publication to data sharing.
