Data Bytes - Drilling Down on Data Management and Sharing Plans

Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Plans are an often-overlooked tool for effectively planning how and where to store, describe, and share your research data so that it is secure and discoverable. DMS plans are a required component of many federal agency grants, but they can be helpful planning tools for any research project. In this workshop we will look at the components of a DMS plan required by federal funding agencies, including the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Plan which went into effect January 25, 2023. We will also review tools such as DMPTool to help find templates for specific agencies. Participants are encouraged to bring DMS plans that they have used or are preparing for questions or group discussion.
