Upcoming Classes

We have no upcoming HSLS live classes currently scheduled on this topic. Contact us for options.

NIH's new Policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMS Policy) went into effect January 25, 2023, and requires NIH-funded researchers to prospectively submit a plan outlining how scientific data from their research will be managed and shared.

While broad sharing may not feasible for all datasets, steps can still be taken to share information about the dataset including a description and instructions for restricted access.

Audience: Any researcher interested in preparing for the NIH Data Management & Sharing Plan requirements.

Upon completing this class, you should be able to:
  • Describe the differences between a data repository and data catalog
  • Decide if your dataset is appropriate for inclusion into the Pitt Data Catalog (PDC)
  • Understand the process of submitting your dataset's information for inclusion in the PDC
