Navigating and Implementing the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy at UK

The NIH’s new Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy, which went into effect in January 2023, has established new requirements for grant applicants to put forward a plan explaining how their research data will be made accessible to other researchers and the public.



This presentation will share insights from UK librarians and researchers who have worked with the policy for the past year.



Topics covered will include an overview of the DMS Policy and its requirements, resources for developing a DMS plan, suggestions for selecting a data repository and budgeting for data management and sharing, and perspectives on data management practices to ensure that scientific data is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reproducible.
