eRA IntranetThe DMS Request type is used to submit revisions to the approved Data Management and Sharing (DMS) plan. The DMS Request type appears only for signing officials (SOs) and does not appear for program directors/principal investigators (PD/PIs).
When revisions to the DMS Plans need to be made off-cycle (other than at the time of the RPPR), an SO for the recipient organization must use the "DMS Request” in the Prior Approval Module to request the change. This request type is available for NIH awards that are subject to the Final NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy. All uploaded documents must be in PDF format.
