NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy

This guide contains resources, contact information, and step-by-step instructions for MSK staff who engage with the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy

What is the DMPTool?

The DMPTool is an online application designed to help researchers create and maintain Data Management Plans based on funder templates. In addition, we have embedded MSK institution-specific guidance, as well as a direct link for assistance from an MSK data services librarian.

The application contains a template for the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy to provide a step-by-step process for writing a 'data management plan' with question prompts to help you respond to NIH's requirements along with MSK-specific guidance directing you to appropriate MSK resources if you have additional questions. 

The California Digital Library has put together a great introductory video to help you get started using the DMPTool.
