Effective January 25, 2023, the Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy applies to all research that meets these criteria:

• Is funded or conducted in whole or in part by NIH
• Results in the generation of scientific data

Research activities covered by the DMS Policy include the following regardless of funding level:

• Extramural competing grant applications submitted to NIH for January 25, 2023 and subsequent receipt dates.
• Extramural proposals for contracts submitted to NIH on or after January 25, 2023.
• Intramural research projects conducted on or after January 25, 2023.
• Other funding agreements executed on or after January 25, 2023, unless otherwise stipulated by NIH.
