NIH Data Management and Sharing Plans
NIH has issued its Data Management & Sharing (DMS) policy (effective January 25, 2023) to promote the sharing of scientific data. (Note that the resources described below, both in-house and external, continue to evolve and will thus be updated periodically.)
Tools for creating a DMS Plan
How to write your DMS Plan
- 2026 Pilot NIH Data Management and Sharing Plan format (required for applications due on/after May 25, 2026).
- Brian Westra, Data Services Librarian: A consultation with Brian is the best way to ensure that your DMS Plan is customized to meet NIH expectations, especially if you are unsure which methods are most appropriate for sharing the data types relevant to your study.
