NIH 2023 Policy on Data Management and Sharing Policy
NIH issued NOT-OD-21-013, the Final Policy for Data Management and Sharing, which applies to all research funded by NIH that results in the generation of scientific data. Effective January 25, 2023 prospective grant and contract applications will be required to include a data management and sharing plan outlining how scientific data will be managed and shared. Adherence to the plan will become a term and condition of the award.
The UCSF Library and the Office of Sponsored Research have joined forces to provide guidance and resources on the NIH DMS Policy webpage.
