The NIH has issued the Data Management and Sharing (DMS) policy, which will go into effect on January 25, 2023. Under the DMS policy, the NIH expects that investigators and institutions will (i) plan and budget for the managing and sharing of data; (ii) submit a DMS plan for review when applying for funding; and (iii) comply with the approved DMS plan. In order to support SOM researchers as they prepare for this, the Office of Research is offering a series of webinars to guide you in this new process.
