New NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy

Effective for applications starting January 25, 2023, and after, all NIH-supported researchers producing scientific data will be expected to submit a Data Management & Sharing Plan as part of their proposals. Under the new policy, data must be shared no later than the time of an associated publication or the end of the performance period.  The NIH policy encourages the use of established data repositories. Learn what is expected of investigators and institutions under the 2023 NIH Data Management & Sharing Policy.  A Data Management Plan Tool (DMP tool) is available to assist researchers in creating a plan: https://dmptool.org/plans.   To use the DMP tool, log in using your UWO email and password.

New NSF Safe and Inclusive Working Environment for Off-Campus and Off-Site Research Activities

This new NSF policy requires that the University have a plan in place to address certain behaviors should they occur while off-campus or off-site research is conducted.  NSF defines off-campus or off-site research as data/information/samples being collected off-campus or off-site. Starting January 30, 2023, all PIs will be required to complete a form detailing their plans to foster a safe and inclusive off-campus environment prior to submitting any NSF proposal that proposes to conduct research off-campus or off-site. The plan must be disseminated to all individuals participating in the off-campus or off-site research prior to departure. The form for the plan can be found here. Contact OSP at OSP@uwosh.edu with any questions.
