NIH Data Management & Sharing Policy

The DataWorks! DMP Challenge is an opportunity to learn about data management plans, receive expert feedback, and win prizes. Data management plans (DMPs) play an integral role in ensuring that data are collected, organized, stored, and shared responsibly. This challenge is an opportunity to practice using the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Plan template (NOT-OD-014). We invite you to amend your existing DMP or create one specifically for this competition. As part of this challenge, FASEB will award up to ten Outstanding NIH DMSP awards, each of which includes a prize of $500.
Submissions due: October 21, 2022 11:59 pm ET.
