Why sharing research data is important<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sharing data is necessary within the research team, which can be complicated by far reaching collaborations and types of data requiring secure storage. On a global level, sharing data increases data use by encouraging transparency, enabling reproducibility of results, and informing the larger scientific community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016, the FAIR Guiding Principles<\/a> were published in Nature. These are guidelines to improve the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets. These guidelines are important to follow when sharing research data products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While sharing can be as simple as making data accessible to anyone who needs it, publishing is a more deliberate act of preparing a data set for transparency and public accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing data and publishing research results have become more than a professional expectation. Along with other federal funding agencies, the NIH now requires data sharing to be included in any data management and sharing plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Previously, the NIH only required grants with $500,000 per year or more in direct costs to provide a brief explanation of how and when data resulting from the grant would be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 NIH policy<\/a> <\/strong>is entirely new. Beginning January 25, 2023<\/strong>, ALL <\/strong>grant applications or renewals that generate Scientific Data must include a robust and detailed plan<\/strong> for managing and sharing data<\/strong> during the entire funded period. This includes information on data storage, access policies\/procedures, preservation, metadata standards, distribution approaches, and more. You must provide this information in a data management and sharing plan (DMSP)<\/strong>. The DMSP is similar to what other funders call a data management plan (DMP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DMSP<\/strong> will be assessed by NIH Program Staff (though peer reviewers will be able to comment on the proposed data management budget). The Institute, Center, or Office (ICO)-approved plan becomes a Term and Condition of the Notice of Award. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More information about the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy can be found in the ASU Library Libguides<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publishing Research Data<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many funding agencies and academic journals now require that the data associated with your research will ultimately be made publicly accessible when the research is complete. Publication of your data is expected either upon publication of your article or within a reasonable time after the research concludes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data products may include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
