Note: are you required by the NIH/NSF or another funder to publish a data management plan? Sage can help you develop a data management and sharing plan that meets the requirements of the funder, develop a budget that meets the F.A.I.R principles, and provide guidance on how to store and secure your data. Find out more below and at this FAQ.

Plans

Sage offers the following service plans:

  1. A free Basic Hosting Plan, intended for individual researchers wanting to share small datasets (<100GB) for publication (including creating DOIs). This plan includes self-service project set-up and data hosting, but no direct support. 

  2. A Self-Managed Plan, intended for researchers and labs looking for data longevity guarantees, consultation services for setting up and sharing data according to the F.A.I.R principles, access to consulting hours with our experienced governance team, and tools for managing data access requests. This is our recommended plan for compliance with the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy. 

  3. A Data Coordination Plan, intended for multi-institutional research consortia looking for customized, end-to-end, collaborative data management. This plan supplements the services in the Self-Managed Plan with additional personalized consulting services, data curation, harmonization, and validation services. It also includes work to localize data policies and governance controls to your particular country’s requirements, as applicable. A Data Coordination Plan includes a customized data exploration portal for your coordination center integrated with computational environments.

What is the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy?

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Data Management and Sharing Policy (DMSP) went into effect on January 25, 2023. This new policy applies to all research funded or conducted in whole or in part by NIH. The goal of the policy is to promote the sharing of scientific data, which can accelerate biomedical research discovery, enable validation of research results, and provide accessibility to high-value datasets. With a Managed Plan by Sage, we can help you with the following:

  • Develop a data management and sharing plan that meets the requirements of the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy.

  • Develop an appropriate budget for your data management and sharing plan that meets the F.A.I.R principles.

  • Provide guidance on how to store and secure your data at a level appropriate for its sensitivity.

  • Promote the sharing of your data with the scientific community for scientific, education, and research purposes only.

What are the payment terms?

Basic Hosting Plan: Access to the Service is provided free of charge. Sage reserves the right to implement fees for the Service, or portions thereof, at any time by providing you 30 days prior written notice on Synapse or otherwise. Before you become obligated to pay such fees, you will have the opportunity to terminate your account. The fees will only apply to users who have logged in or engaged in active use of the Service.

Self-Managed and Data Coordination Plans: These plans and certain features of these plans require you to pay fees. All fees are in U.S. Dollars and are non-refundable, unless specified in the Sage Terms of Service or separate agreements.

How to get started?

Sage’s expertise makes it easy to create an NIH Data Management and Sharing Plan and budget. To support you, we provide budgeting information in the form of a quote, as well as sample text you can directly use in your plan. More questions? See our FAQ
