Effective for Research Performance Progress Reports (RPPR) due on or after October 1, 2024, a set of new questions has been added, asking NIH recipients for details on how they are adhering to their approved Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Plan, if applicable.

See NIH Guide Notice: NOT-OD-24-175NOT-OD-24-176 and NOT-OD-24-123.

New DMS Questions in RPPR C.5.c section asks recipients:

  • Whether data has been generated to date and what type of data it is;
  • Whether data has been shared for use by others;
  • If data has been shared, in what repository and under what unique digital identifiers;
  • If data has NOT been shared, what is the status of data sharing (e.g. being prepared for submission, submitted to repository, not yet expected to be shared); and
  • If data has not been generated and/or shared as outlined in an approved DMS Plan, what corrective actions have or will be taken to comply with the approved Plan.
  • If significant changes to the DMS Plan are anticipated, you will need to describe those changes and provide a revised DMS Plan for approval.
