The NIH’s Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy, which went into effect in January 2023, has established new requirements for grant applicants to put forward a plan explaining how their research data will be made accessible to other researchers and the public. At this session, Research Data Librarian Isaac Wink will cover the major elements of the policy researchers need to know and provide guidance on writing successful data management and sharing plans. Specific topics will include:
   
   - An overview of the DMS Policy and its requirements
   - Resources for developing a DMS plan
   - Suggestions for selecting a data repository and budgeting for data management and sharing
   - Perspectives on data management practices to ensure that scientific data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR).
