A regularly updated list of FAQs from the NIH about the 2023 Data Management and Sharing Policy.
NIH DMSP Requirements Series from NNLM [video]
The webinar series introduces the basics of data management and the new requirements for data management and sharing that will be in place beginning in 2023. The introduction will then be followed by three webinars providing “practitioner perspectives” – i.e., data librarians sharing their opportunities, barriers, methods, and successes as they work toward improving data management practices at their institutions.
NIH Data Sharing and Reuse Seminar Series [video]
The "NIH Data Sharing and Reuse Seminar Series" webpage provides access to both past and upcoming workshops to hone your data skills in a health science context.
NIH Suggested Elements of a DMP
Suggested elements to be included in your NIH Data Management Plan.
NIH’s Scientific Data Sharing Website
The new website will help you navigate NIH data sharing policies, providing you with step-by-step guides, infographics, tools and resources to help you on your way. In the case of clinical trials and public access policies, the site provides a central access point and visibility to these policies, and links out to existing NIH sites for more information.
Suggested Repositories for Data Sharing
BMIC has maintained a list of NIH-supported data repositories at this site for the last several years. Visit this list of both domain specific and generalist repositories for locating re-usable datasets as well as sharing your own data in compliance with NIH Data Sharing Policy.
NIH DMSP Learning Page
Find resources and training opportunities for NIH sharing policies. We will continue to post additional resources, so check back frequently!
NNLM Toolkit for the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy
Many of the resources in this toolkit were developed by the NIH DMSP Guidance Working Group of over 25 information professionals whose goal is to collect and create implementation guidance for the NIH DMS Policy to help researchers and research support staff (e.g. librarians, offices of research, etc.).
