School Research Administration offices are a great resource for questions related to NIH policy and requirements related to submitting an application, allowable costs, and contracts. Find your Office for Sponsored Programs Pre-Award or Research Finance contact

Information Technology groups can assist you with data storage, computing, and security. Find your School Security Officer to help you navigate Harvard policies for working with different types of data.

The Harvard Library Research Data Management Services is happy to help with writing or reviewing a DMP in DMPTool, selecting a repository, choosing a metadata standard, or answering questions about the policy. We can also refer you to other relevant groups on campus. See the Data Services Network for the appropriate library and scholarship contact.
