NIH Data Sharing Policy Notices and Supplements

Change for Genomic Data Sharing Plans

Description of Change: Plans for sharing genomic data as expected by the GDS Policy are to be described in the DMS Plan submitted at the time of application, and not in a separate GDS Plan or at Just-in-Time, consistent with the changes described in  NOT-OD-22-189. Therefore, after January 25, 2023, NIH will no longer be collecting separate GDS Plans. Genomic data sharing considerations, such as where and when genomic data will be shared, will be expected to be addressed in DMS Plans using the DMS Plan elements.

Responsible Management and Sharing of American Indian/Alaska Native Participant Data

Notice of Data Sharing Policy for the National Institute of Mental Health

Description of Change: Revise and replace the current NIMH Data Sharing Policy ( NOT-MH-19-033 ), to align with the NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing ( NOT-OD-21-013 ), and to extend the NIMH data sharing policy to include HIV-related applications funded by the NIMH that involve human subjects research which had previously been exempted.

The NIMH has established an informatics infrastructure to enable the responsible sharing and use of data collected from and about human subjects by the entire research community. Consistent with authorities under the 21st Century Cures Act, research funded by the NIMH are required to deposit all raw and analyzed data (including, but not limited to, clinical, genomic, imaging, and phenotypic data) from studies involving human subjects into the NIMH Data Archive (NDA).

Unless NIMH stipulates otherwise during the negotiation of the terms and conditions of a grant award, this Notice applies to all grant applications and awards that involve human subject research submitted on or after  January 25, 2023, and applies to all Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) that NIMH participates in. NOT-MH-19-033 will continue to be in effect for all applications submitted through January 24, 2023.
