NIH DMS Policy
NIH DMS Template (Word) - Note WVU strongly encourages PIs to use the
DMPTool
WVU Resources
The Research Office, in partnership with the Libraries, WV CTSI, ITS, Finance, and
the pre-award staff in the colleges and departments, are available to provide support
to researchers required to complete a DMS plan.
The WVU Research DMS Committee was formed in 2022 to ensure WVU Researchers
were prepared to comply with NIH policy changes and understand allowable costs
that can be included in proposal budgets. The committee meets monthly to
discuss changes to the policy and institutional actions needed to support
compliance.
Significant Updates:
September 23, 2024: New Requirements for RPPRs and Revised DMS Plans - WVU Update

NOTE: Consultations with WVU staff are required when:
- The total amount data supporting your research will be 2 Terabytes (TB) or more.
- There are regulatory requirements for the data (HIPAA excluded).
- WVU approved storage will not meet the requirements for the research.
- The research requires technology (hardware, software, services) that are not currently supported or approved.
