Adding Data Management-Related Questions to the RPPR Process. (NOT-OD-24-175)

NIH is adding several questions about Data Management and Sharing (DMS) activities to Progress Reports (Research Performance Progress Reports, RPPRs). For awards for which the NIH DMS Policy applies, recipients will now be asked: 

  • Whether data has been generated or shared to date
  • What repositories any data was shared to and under what unique digital identifier 
  • If data has not been generated and/or shared per the award’s DMS Plan, why and what corrective actions have or will be taken to comply with the plan
  • If significant changes to the DMS Plan are anticipated in the coming year, recipients will be asked to explain them and provide a revised DMS Plan for approval. 

For more information about the DMS Plan, please visit RMG's NIH Data Management & Sharing webpage. 

NEW RESOURCE: Stanford Data Management Plans (DMPs) Service provides FREE consultation and feedback for the Stanford community members writing a data management plan or would like assistance navigating data management and sharing-related policies.
