The National Institutes of Health (NIH) now requires applicants to use the 2026 Pilot DMS Plan format to submit the required Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Plan for any NIH-funded or conducted research that generates scientific data.
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has released and implemented a new tool in Research.gov for submitting the Data Management and Sharing Plan (DMSP) that is required in each proposal.
The NIH has issued an RFI soliciting public input on a proposed policy that would cap the number of Research Project Grants per PI. Faculty members are encouraged to submit comments by August 3.
