NIH Data Sharing Policy (DSP) & Data Management Sharing Policy (DMSP) The current NIH Data Sharing policy, in effect since 2003, remains in effect until January 24, 2023 The new NIH Policy on Data Management and Sharing (effective January 25, 2023) Sharing.nih.gov https://sharing.nih.gov/about/learning 4

  5. Data Management and Sharing Policy (DMSP) effective January 25, 2023 Effective January 25, 2023, the NIH Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy applies to all research that meets these criteria regardless of funding level: Is funded or conducted in whole or in part by NIH Results in the generation of scientific data The DMS Policy does not apply to research and other activities that do not generate scientific data. Examples include: Training (Ts), Fellowships (Fs), Certain non-research Career Awards (e.g. KM1), Construction (C06), Conference Grants (R13), Resources (Gs), Research-related Infrastructure programs (e.g., S06) and non-research activities. 5

  6. Scientific Data Scientific Data is defined as data commonly accepted in the scientific community as of sufficient quality to validate and replicate research findings, regardless of whether the data are used to support scholarly publications. Scientific data includes any data needed to validate and replicate research findings. Scientific data does not include laboratory notebooks, preliminary analyses, completed case report forms, drafts of scientific papers, plans for future research, peer reviews, communications with colleagues, or physical objects such as laboratory specimens." 6

  7. Data Management and Sharing Policy (DMSP) Requirements Applicants will be required to submit a two-page data management and sharing plan and to comply with that plan. 1. Submission of an official Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Plan as part of all applications for funding beginning January 25, 2023. 2. Compliance with the DMS Plan approved by the funding NIH Institute, Center, or Office. The approved plan becomes a part of the terms and conditions of the grant. Compliance will be monitored at regular reporting intervals by the funding NIH Institute, Center or Office and may factor into future funding decisions. 7

  8. Allowable Costs for Data Management and Sharing Curating data and developing supporting documentation Local data management considerations Preserving and sharing data through established repositories Policy allows investigators to request funding for personnel costs or other fees related to data management and sharing activities; however, the money must be spent during the grant s award period. Source: NOT-OD-21-015: Supplemental Information to the NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing: Allowable Costs for Data Management and Sharing 8

  9. Submitting DMS Budgets Direct costs to support the activities proposed in the DMS Plan must be indicated as Data Management and Sharing Costs R&R Budget Form: line item in section F. Other Direct Costs Data Management and Sharing Costs PHS 398 Modular Budget Form: within Additional Narrative Justification 9 (source: NIH)

  10. Data Management and Sharing Policy (DMSP) Additional Details The policy does not require researchers to share data per se but expects them to maximize their data sharing. NIH strongly encourages the use of established repositories to the extent possible for preserving and sharing scientific data. Grant reviewers will see the data management plan and can comment on the budget, but plans are not used to determine the grant s scientific merit. An optional Data Management and Sharing Plan format page will be provided to assist applicants with the preparations of this attachment. A fillable version will be available by Fall 2022 and instructions will be incorporated into the NIH Application Form Instructions (New Forms H). Use of this format page or other approaches (e.g. DMPTool) will be accepted. DMS Plan is uploaded to application in the Research Plan Section (#11. Other Plans). 10

  11. Format of a DMS Plan Plans should be no more than 2 pages in length Optional format page will be available DMS Plan format page will be added to list of Format Pages and incorporated into FORMS-H application instructions by Fall 2022 11 (source: NIH)

  12. DMS Plan Submission A new Other Plan(s) field will be added to the PHS 398 form to collect a single PDF attachment Data Sharing Plans and Genomic Data Sharing Plans will no longer be submitted to the Resource Sharing Plan(s) field 12 (source: NIH)

  13. Data Management and Sharing Policy (DMSP) Limitations on Sharing DMS Plans should maximize appropriate sharing Justifiable ethical, legal, and technical factors for limiting sharing include: Informed consent will not permit or limits the scope of sharing or use Privacy or safety of research participants would be compromised and available protections are insufficient Explicit federal, state, local, or Tribal law, regulation, or policy prohibits disclosure Restrictions are imposed by existing or anticipated agreements with other parties Reasons NOT generally justifiable to limit sharing: Data are considered too small Researchers anticipate data will not be widely used Data are thought not to have a suitable repository 13

  14. Protecting Privacy When Sharing Human Participant Data NIH Released the Following Supplemental Information regarding Human Participant Data: Provides list of principles and considerations researchers should uphold in their plans and throughout their research project.

  15. Data Management and Sharing Policy (DMSP) Monitoring Compliance NIH will monitor compliance with Plans over the course of the funding period during regular reporting intervals (e.g., at the time of annual Research Performance Progress Reports (RPPRs)). Steps include: Submit plan as part of the application At Just-in-Time (JIT) clarification or updates may be requested Approved DMS Plan becomes a Term and Condition of the Award Grantee reports progress of approved DMS Plan in RPPR NIH reviews compliance annually Failure to comply with DMS Plans may result in the NIH adding special Terms and Conditions of Award or terminating the award. If award recipients are not compliant with Plans at the end of the award, noncompliance may be factored into future funding decisions. For contracts, noncompliance with the DMS Plan will be handled in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract and applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). 15
