Friday, November 19, 2021

Location: Livestreamed

NIH has announced a new Data Management and Sharing Policy, which takes effect for grants submitted on or after January 25, 2023. This policy will impact NIH-funded researchers, with implications for IRBs, research compliance associates, and other stakeholders. NIH's "expectations for robust data management and sharing practices [and] a future in which data sharing is a community norm" will require focused outreach, education, and development of tools during the coming year to prepare successful 2023 grant applications. In this presentation, we will outline NIH's expectations, explore specific challenges and opportunities afforded by the new policy, and offer suggestions for how academic medical centers can develop resources and workflows to support researchers and comply with the new policy.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the specific guidelines, NIH's general expectations, and to whom they apply
Discuss essential elements of and best practices for Data Management and Sharing Plans, including examples
Identify the resources and stakeholders within an institution who will need to be engaged for researchers to develop adequate plans, along with the challenges they will face and the opportunities that the policy's requirements present
