The National Institutes of Health (NIH) currently requires grants with $500,000 per year or more in direct costs to explain how and when data resulting from the grant will be disseminated. Under the new NIH Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy, effective January 25, 2023, investigators and awardee institutions are required to:

• Include a robust and detailed plan and budget for the management and sharing of data during the entire funding period in the form of a Data Management and Sharing(DMS) Plan.
• Submit a DMS Plan for review as part of their funding application for all new and competing proposals/renewals that generate scientific data. The DMS Plan will be assessed by NIH program staff members, and the approved plan is considered a Term and Condition of the Notice of Award.
• Comply with the approved DMS Plan.
