Abstract

The University of Nebraska Consortium of Libraries (UNCL) Research Data Services (RDS) group was formed in the fall of 2021 to coordinate, support, and promote research data services throughout the NU system. On January 25, 2023, the NIH’s Data Management and Sharing (DMS) policy went into effect, requiring researchers to create and follow a DMS plan for all NIH grants. Many researchers were confused by the policy and unsure of how to create a DMS plan or identify and evaluate data repositories for depositing their data.

This talk will share the experience of RDS member’s responses to the policy and requests from campus researchers for guidance, including helpful resources you can refer to if you are asked for research data support.

The information and resources shared are of interest to academic librarians regardless of their experience in providing research data services. Other grant funding institutions are expected to adopt similar DMS policies to the NIH, impacting more researchers in a variety of disciplines. We hope by sharing this experience we can encourage more discussion and collaboration around research data services amongst libraries in the state.
