NIH New Data Management and Sharing Policy
Do you have a data management solution in place to assist you with the new grant funding requirements?
As of January 25, 2023, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has released their new Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy governing the submission, sharing, and preservation of scientific data in order to accelerate biomedical research discovery, in part, by enabling validation of research results, providing accessibility to high-value datasets, and promoting data reuse for future research studies.
Therefore, all research institutes need to enhance their data management to meet the DMS Policy and comply with the NIH Institute, Center, or Office (ICO)-approved plans throughout the grant process:
- Grant Application: Prospectively plan for how scientific data will be shared and preserved, as well as submit the forecasted budget for data storage.
- Funding/Support Period: Tracking of data and its storage cost used for a specific grant funding, with NIH compliance oversight at any time, including the annual submission of the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) by grants’ recipients.
- Post-Funding: Shared scientific data should be made accessible as soon as possible, and no later than the time of an associated publication, or the end of the award/grant period, whichever comes first. Non-compliance with the NIH ICO-approved Plans may be taken into account for future funding decisions.
Diskover offers curated tools for scientific data management and assistance with grant funding data requirements.
Diskover’s features can assist you in meeting the NIH DMS requirements, with more tools on the way.
- Global visibility/findability independent of the storage tier model used by a research institute, including cloud providers.
- Multiple analytical tools for data monitoring and tracking.
- Storage cost feature offering granular configuration and dedicated data cost per storage repository, in turn allowing for real-time data cost monitoring.
