Introduction to the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy (Virtual Event)

Do you have an upcoming NIH proposal due? Join us to learn about the newly implemented NIH Data Management and Sharing (DMS) policy, including the requirement to submit a DMS plan with all new applications and renewals. Compliance with the submitted and accepted plan will be assessed, and non-compliance can impact future funding.

This informational session will provide an introduction to the policy, an overview of tools and resources provided by Ohio State to help you, and preliminary feedback from select Institutes and Centers about submitted plans.

Topics to be covered include:

  • How the DMP Tool can help you address the required elements of a DMS plan
  • Tips for identifying a suitable repository
  • Guidance on how to budget for data-related costs

This workshop is ideal for researchers who currently receive NIH funding or may apply in the future, as well as staff who support NIH-funded researchers. This session is scheduled for 90 minutes to allow ample time for attendee questions.
