New Resource: NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy Guide

Posted on by

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued a new Data Management and Sharing Policy, effective January 25, 2023. This policy includes an expectation that researchers will maximize their data sharing activities, ensure they submit a Data Management Plan (DMP) at the time of grant submission, and deposit their data into a public repository. To support the implementation of this new policy, a resource guide has been developed to provide information and guidance for our researchers. Click the link below to go directly to the guide.   

NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy LibGuide

Whether you are applying for a new grant or have a renewal deadline in your near future, this guide will help you navigate policy changes and requirements, as well as connect you with the right individuals or departments should you have specific questions. This guide has been customized for MSK staff and will be updated accordingly to ensure that researchers are provided with the latest information related to the policy.  

If you have questions about the guide, or would like to request a presentation about the new policy, please contact Anthony Dellureficio, Associate Librarian, Data Management Services.
