NIH New DMS Policy
Effective: 1/25/23
Scope: All applicable research regardless of amount
NIH DMS Policy
NIH DMS Template (Word) - Note WVU strongly encourages PIs to use the
DMPTool
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.
Guidance
Please be sure to bookmark this page and check back often.
Consultations early in the proposal stage are encouraged if this is your first DMS Plan. Consultations provide PIs with information about WVU baseline technology services and associated costs , institutional requirements and tips to ensure your plan complies with NIH and WVU policy.
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.
CONSULTATON REQUEST FORM
