The Final NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMS Policy) goes into effect Jan. 25, 2023. This new policy applies to all NIH-supported research that results in the generation of scientific data. Grantees will be required to develop a data management and sharing plan (known as a DMS Plan).
NIH recently launched a scientific data sharing website that features a tool to answer the question, Which Policies Apply to My Research? You can also find best practices for scientific data management, including metadata, naming conventions, data storage format, and a DMS Policy FAQ. We encourage applicants to not only read the policy but also review related NIH notices for more information about expected elements of a DMS Plan, allowable costs, and guidance for selecting a data repository.
