*Reminder* NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy Required By 1/25/23
Posted: 1/16/2023 ()
As of January 25, 2023 NIH grant applications will be required to include a data management and sharing plan for any research products generated during the grant period. The UW’s Office of Research has prepared an excellent resource page for meeting this new requirement. If you need any research infrastructure support to meet the needs of your projects and the expectations of the data management and sharing plans, don’t hesitate to contact any of us at CSDE for that kind of support.
Here are the details:
To promote the management and sharing of scientific data generated from NIH-funded or conducted research, NIH issued a new policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMS Policy, NOT-OD-21-013) which goes into effect for new or competing proposals due on or after January 25, 2023. These proposals must include a data management and sharing plan, and costs to meet this new requirement can be included in the Direct Costs and Justification sections of proposals. FOAs may include specific requirements and may specify a repository. Attached is a slide deck with a summary of information.
Recommended steps and resources are outlined here.
- Determine if your proposed research is subject to the DMS policy.
- Develop a plan which is up to two pages and includes the 6 recommended elements.
- Select a data repository.
- Include costs in your proposal budget
The DMS Plan must be attached to the proposal and will be assessed by the NIH Institute/Center Program staff. It will not be reviewed by peer reviewers as part of the Overall Impact score. If the DMS Plan is revised during the award period, NIH will need to approve any revisions.
