New NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy Effective Today

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued its final NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMS Policy) to promote the management and sharing of scientific data generated from NIH-funded or conducted research.  The new policy applies to applications with receipt dates on/after January 25, 2023.

BU Resources

Boston University has developed a number of resources to assist the BU Research Community in complying with this new policy. These resources and policy expectations are detailed in the recording of the NIH DMS Policy Info Session and the accompanying presentation slides. This recording also answers questions from BU researchers and administrators.

All data management and sharing resources can be found on the Research Support NIH DMS Resources webpage, including the BU Library NIH DMS Guide, a comprehensive guidance regarding the policy.
