## Context
A new NIH Policy on Data Management and Sharing (DMSP) goes into effect in January 2023 - https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-21-013.html
Although there is thorough information about complying with the policy at https://sharing.nih.gov/data-management-and-sharing-policy, there are many caveats and linkouts to additional information. This means that a researcher or data support specialist assisting with creating a plan would need substantial expertise to be confident in acting in compliance.
In order to reduce redundancy in effort and ensure a more thorough understanding of the policy, this working group will review the DMSP and related documents to provide implementation guidance for both researchers and research support staff (e.g. librarians, offices of research, etc.).
