NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy

NIH Public Access Policy - 

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued its updated 2024 Public Access Policy on December 17, 2024. The new leadership at NIH announced an accelerated implementation date for the updated Public Access Policy, which will go into effect July 1, 2025. Like the current policy, it applies to peer-reviewed journal articles from all research funded in whole or in part by NIH. Starting July 1, 2025, researchers are required to submit the Author Accepted Manuscript (AAM) or Final Published Article for any peer-reviewed journal article based on research funded, in whole or in part, by NIH grants into PubMed Central (PMC) immediately upon the official date of publication. 

Until then, NIH's current (2008) Public Access Policy remains in effect.  

NIH's current (2008) Public Access Policy: The Director of the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) shall require in the current fiscal year and thereafter that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication, to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication: Provided, that the NIH shall implement the public access policy in a manner consistent with copyright law.

NIH Genomic Data Sharing Policy

ScholarSpace, https://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/, is an institutional repository for UH Manoa research papers, videos, datasets, instructional materials.

ScholarSpace provides long-term preservation of digital files.

ScholarSpace can provide permanent access to data or act as a safe storage space until data are moved to a discipline specific data repository.

DMP Tool helps researchers create data management plans (DMPs) that many funding agencies require as part of the grant proposal submission process. The DMP Tool provides a click-through wizard for creating a DMP that complies with funder requirements. It also has direct links to funder websites, help text for answering questions and data management best practices resources.  It is a free, open-source application initiated in 2011 by the University of California Curation Center (UC3) at the California Digital Library, DataONE, Digital Curation Centre (DCC-UK), Smithsonian Institution, UCLA Library, UC San Diego Library, UIUC Library, and University of Virginia Library and then revamped with the funding from Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in 2014.
