NIH Data Sharing Policy Information
NIH Data Sharing Policy Information
Resources and support for fulfillment of the NIH data management and sharing plan requirements.
NIH Data Sharing Policy Campus Working Group
In Fall 2022, Purdue formed a cross-campus working group to develop a network for support and resources to aid navigation and fulfillment of the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy.
Led by the Executive Vice President for Research Karen Plaut, Chief Information Officer Ian Hyatt, and Dean of Libraries Beth McNeil, the group brings together campus research professionals from the Office of Research, Rosen Center of Advanced Computing (RCAC), IT Security and Policy, Sponsored Programs, and the Libraries including Purdue University Research Repository (PURR). The goal of the group is to facilitate informed planning, sharing, and security from proposals to post-award preservation. The group continues to meet regularly to coordinate and strengthen Purdue’s support.
Key Points from the Policy
- Key Points Information Sheet
Provides general information about the requirements and includes links to other resources at Purdue University, from the NIH and trusted external sources. - January 2023 Campus DMSP Session
Provides a broad overview of the policy, the data management plan, and related resources and services at Purdue.
Campus Resources and Support
- The policy focuses on maximizing sharing whenever possible.
- Ethical, legal, and technical factors need thorough explanation.
- Data management and sharing plans are required for submission with the initial proposal.
- Institutes and Centers (ICOs) may have additional requirements.
- Using established research data repositories for sharing and preserving data is strongly recommended.
- Budget requests can include costs for data management and sharing activities.
The data management and sharing plan includes 6 main elements:
- Data type
- Related tools, software, and code
- Standards
- Data archiving, preservation, and access
- Considerations for access, distribution, or reuse
- Oversight for compliance with the plan and policies
Note: Certain ICOs may have additional requirements.
Purdue NIH DMSP template
A template created specifically for Purdue University researchers that contains questions to guide the writing process—including sample text—and Purdue resource information.
Purdue NIH DMSP sample template for projects using secondary data
This template is based on a sample plan provided by the NIH, altered to address projects using secondary data, that is already publicly accessible.
DMPTool
A resource available through the libraries, this online tool provides an updated NIH-specific template with select guidance for each required section of the plan.
Allowable costs estimation table
This table provides basic considerations for gauging any needs related to the allowable costs specified by the NIH.
Data Storage Solutions Finder
This tool offers recommendations of Purdue campus storage solutions appropriate to your research data needs and security constraints.
Sample DMPs from Federal Agency-Funded Purdue Projects
These sample data management plans are provided by the Research Development Services and grant writing support team, and include funded Purdue project plans from federal agencies, including NASA and specific NSF divisions.
Personalized support for planning
For plan review requests, questions, and consultations, contact Reid Boehm: riboehm@purdue.edu.
PURR provides all Purdue researchers with research data management and sharing support. A core campus resource based in Purdue Libraries, the repository meets federal funding agency requirements for sharing research data. The team and the repository system provide support functions including data management and sharing planning via consultations, plan reviews, and resources. The online platform provides project space for file sharing and collaboration with data curation and long-term preservation as part of the dataset publication process.
