New National Institutes of Health Data Management and Sharing Requirements
May 28, 2026

The National Institutes of Health has introduced a new, streamlined format for data management and sharing plans for applications submitted on or after May 25, 2026. The Health Sciences and Human Services Library offers guidance for writing data management and sharing plans, and templates are available in DMPTool (log in with your UMID).
Request a consult with a librarian to review plans, help choose a repository, or answer questions related to data management and sharing.
