Research Data Support

• NIH Scientific Data Sharing - main page: covers topics including data management and genomic data sharing policies, guidance for writing a DMS plan and selecting a suitable data repository, and guidance for participant privacy and consent.

• Selecting a data repository
• NIH-supported scientific data repositories (accepting specific data types) 
• Generalist repositories (accepting all data types) 

The Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) is an association of federal agencies, research policy organizations and academic research institutions with administrative, faculty and technical representation. The FDP’s mission is to streamline the administration of federally sponsored research and create resources that are available to the research enterprise regardless of membership status (adapted from thefdp.org).

The FDP is currently testing the effectiveness and usability of two templates for the creation of NIH data management and sharing (DMS) plans. Both FDP templates are available through the DMPTool.

Your research data is a valuable component of your scholarship and can raise the visibility and impact of your research. Managing and sharing your research data takes time and effort, but Research Data Support (RDS) at OU Libraries can help.  RDS services include:

• Providing guidance for data management & sharing plans for grant submissions.
• Identifying repositories for data preservation and sharing.
• Teaching good practice in research data management to students at any level.

RDS offers consultations and workshops on data management topics tailored to your needs.  To schedule a consultation or workshop, contact:
