RCR Session: The NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing

Level: Novice

This NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing, which went into effect on January 25, 2023, requires NIH-funded researchers to prospectively submit a plan outlining how scientific data from their research will be managed and shared. This session will cover the plan’s elements and allowable costs as well as tools to help with your own plan creation.

NIH Data Management & Sharing Plans: Where to Share Data

Level: Novice

This is a presentation on NIH's new Policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMS Policy) that went into effect January 25, 2023. This Policy requires NIH-funded researchers to prospectively submit a plan outlining how scientific data from their research will be managed and shared. The Policy includes an expectation that researchers will maximize their data sharing within ethical, legal, or technical constraints, and explicitly encourages researchers to incorporate data sharing via deposit into a public repository into their standard research process. This session will focus on selecting a repository appropriate to their research discipline and data type for sharing data in compliance with the policy.

Upon completing this class, you should be able to:
  • Name at least one repository where you could share your data
  • Define a repository versus data storage or data backup
  • Evaluate the robustness of a repository
  • Explain the difference between a generalist and a domain-specific data repository

NIH Data Management & Sharing Plans: Documentation, Metadata, and the "How" of Deposit

Level: Novice

This is a presentation on NIH's new Policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMS Policy) that went into effect January 25, 2023. This Policy requires NIH-funded researchers to prospectively submit a plan outlining how scientific data from their research will be managed and shared. The Policy includes an expectation that researchers will maximize their data sharing within ethical, legal, or technical constraints, and explicitly encourages researchers to incorporate data sharing via deposit into a public repository into their standard research process. This session will focus on the pieces of information that will help other researchers find and reuse your data: metadata and documentation like READMEs, data dictionaries, and user manuals.

Upon completing this class, you should be able to:
  • Write a basic README file, user manual, or data dictionary to help people understand their data
  • Create documentation templates to streamline the data deposit process
  • Choose a license to define permissions for what other people can do with your data or other materials in a repository
