NIH wants me to include a data sharing plan in the proposal I'm writing
The problem...
I'm writing a proposal to NIH and they have instituted a new requirement that I include a data sharing plan. What can I do about this?

way to meet the NIH requirement - Axiope's software is listed in
the
NIH's guidance to applicants (PDF).

The official Frequently
Asked Questions provide basic answers regarding what is
requested by the NIH. In some research applications,
particularly studies that do not involve human subjects, the
data sharing plan might consist of one brief paragraph at the
end of the research plan section. Generally plans for
data sharing can be reflected in the Significance, Budget,
and Human Subjects sections of the application, depending on
the specific research project. Costs associated with the
preparation of data and documentation can be included in the
budget (under Other Expenses). The timeline for data sharing
is research- and therefore application-specific and needs to be
discussed in the Research Plan section. If the research includes data
about human subjects, the protection of the rights and
confidentiality of participants needs to be addressed.
