Data sharing and management plans are essential pieces to effective applications. Effective January 25, 2023, NIH requires all awards generating scientific data include data sharing plans in the application. Plans should address:
- Data type
- Related tools, software, and/or code
- Standards applied
- Data preservation, access, and associated timelines
- Access, distribution, or reuse considerations
- Oversight of data management and sharing
Costs associated with compliance with your data sharing plan to make the data accessible and reusable for other researchers should be included in your budget.
NIH also provides some sample plans for reference:
- Human Genomic Template
- Human MRI and Clinical Assessments Template
- Mouse Genomic Template
- Secondary Data Analysis Template
National Science Foundation
Proposals must include a data management plan of no more that 2 pages and should include:
- Data Type
- Standards applied
- Policies for access and sharing
- Policies and provisions for re-use, re-distribution, and production of derivatives
- Plans for archiving and preservation
Resources
There are a number of resources to assist in preparing a data management plan. One of the most helpful resources is the DMP Tool. The DMP Tool is a software package created by a group of research institutions to better manage their research data. While HPU is not a collaborator, HPU faculty can still create an account use the tool.
