As of January 25, 2023, the NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMS) is in effect. All research that is funded in whole or in part by NIH is required to submit a DMS plan outlining how scientific data and accompanying metadata will be managed and shared. NIH DMS plans should address the elements described in the Supplemental Information to the NIH DMS Policy. NIH has provided a DMS plan format on the Writing a Data Management and Sharing Plan page on the NIH Scientific Data Sharing website. NIDDK is offering Institute-specific guidance for Writing a DMS Plan and provides NIDDK DMS Tools and Examples.
