Data management plans for successful NIH grants

Data Management Plans for Successful NIH and
NSF Grants

LIVE Webinar • Wednesday, June 29 • 1:00 P.M. EST • 60 Minutes


Effective data management before, during and after completing your
research is essential to ensure you and others can use, preserve and
access the information. Many federal funding agencies, including NIH
and most recently NSF, require that grant applications contain
management plans for projects involving data collection. NSF will review
your Data Management Plan as part of the Intellectual Merit or Broader
Impacts of the proposal, or both, as appropriate. And grant applications
submitted to either agency must incorporate a solid plan that meets
their criteria, or face delays or outright rejection.

But what should a data management plan include? And how can you
ensure you meet these new agency requirements? During this how-to
webinar, your expert presenter will offer data management alternatives
to consider before you begin your proposed research, specify what
should be included, provide strategies for overcoming data management
issues, and offer step-by-step guidance so your plan meets all important
NIH and NSF requirements.
