This is a presentation on NIH's new Policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMS Policy) that went into effect January 25, 2023. This Policy requires NIH-funded researchers to prospectively submit a plan outlining how scientific data from their research will be managed and shared. The Policy includes an expectation that researchers will maximize their data sharing within ethical, legal, or technical constraints, and explicitly encourages researchers to incorporate data sharing via deposit into a public repository into their standard research process. This session will focus on selecting a repository appropriate to their research discipline and data type for sharing data in compliance with the policy.

Upon completing this class, you should be able to:

• Name at least one repository where you could share your data
• Define a repository versus data storage or data backup
• Evaluate the robustness of a repository
• Explain the difference between a generalist and a domain-specific data repository
