NIH Data Management and Sharing
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced the Final NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing, NOT-OD-21-013, NOT-OD-21-014.
The effective date of the DMS Policy is January 25, 2023.
The new Policy for Data Management and Sharing places a strong emphasis on the sharing of scientific data to expedite the translation of research results into knowledge, products, and procedures to improve human health. Under the new policy, scientific data should be made accessible as soon as possible, and no later than the time of an associated publication, or the end of the performance period, whichever comes first.
The new guidelines apply to all awards that generate scientific data regardless of funding mechanism. This includes:
- Grants
- Contracts
- Subgrants/Subcontracts
- Other transaction authority agreements (OTAs)
