The NIH has updated its Data Management and Sharing Plan, effective for grant applications submitted after May 25, 2026. In 2023 we developed a toolkit to address the NIH Plan at that time; it has now been updated to reflect these changes.
Many thanks to the Working Group on NIH DMSP Guidance that has developed many resources for education on these topics. You can find their updates here:

And here is a summary from the working group:
The NIH recently released a format update to its Data Management and Sharing Plan that is required for plans submitted after May 25, 2026 (see NOT-OD-26-046 for details).

These resources can help you as you work to address this change. You can download the materials and keep up with any updated releases at the OSF project page: 2026 NIH Data Management and Sharing Plan Format Update. The resources include:
Visit the OSF wiki pages for detailed descriptions of our outputs, as well as citation information.
Please spread the word and use these resources at your institutions and in your LibGuides. Please feel free to remix these documents to suit your needs with credit to the group.
