Policy Introduction
Beginning January 25, 2023 all extramural researchers submitting a grant proposal generating scientific research data after this date are required to provide a data management and sharing plan as part of their proposal. The plan serves to provide details about data to be generated and / or used during the project and to clearly state plans and rationale for sharing, access, archiving, and preservation.
The following pages provide general information about the requirements and avenues to other resources and contacts at Purdue University, plus links from the NIH and trusted external sources.
Additional support, consultations, and training for meeting the new policy requirements is available.
