Digital Scholarship & Research Services: Data Management and Sharing

Overview

There are new guidelines for all researchers applying for NIH funds. With the goal of fostering data stewardship and creating a cultural change for sharing practices, researchers must submit a Data Management and Sharing Plan with their grant applications. Compliance will influence future funding decisions. Additional information can be found here.
