NIH is implementing a new Data Management and Sharing Policy effective for ALL applications to NIH due on or after January 25, 2023. Data management plans (DMP) must be submitted with any application that generates scientific data. Plans must specify what methods or approaches/repositories will be used for data sharing, determine and budget for any costs related to data management and sharing, and describe how investigators will ensure compliance with the plan, if awarded.
