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.
