Data management is essential, from before your sponsored research project begins and throughout the research process, to ensure that the data is current, usable, protectable, and accessible.
Beginning January 25, 2023, all NIH grant submissions must include a two-page data management and sharing plan. WashU has several resources to support researchers in creating a Data Management and Sharing Plan:
Becker Library: Data Management & Sharing
- Data management and sharing policies
