Lake Shore and Water Tower Campuses Research Support
The Office of Research Services (ORS) assists faculty and students at both campuses with externally funded research, training, and public service projects. We process all applications for funding and are the official contact with sponsors for the life of each project. ORS also oversees all compliance issues related to human participation, animal studies, radioactive materials, or potentially hazardous agents. We are responsible for scholarly integrity, intellectual property (e.g. patents), and other activities associated with scholarship and external support.

Updated Elements of an NIH Data Management and Sharing Plan Notice Number: NOT-OD-26-046 Key Dates Release Date: February 25, 2026
Purpose The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Data Management and Sharing Policy requires applicants to submit a Data Management and Sharing Plan (DMS Plan) for any NIH-funded or conducted research that will generate scientific data (See NIH Grants Policy Statement 8.2.3.1). As part of its ongoing efforts to increase efficiency and minimize applicant burden, NIH is updating the required elements of a DMS Plan. This notice supersedes NOT-OD-21-014. A DMS Plan must reflect the proposed approach to data management and sharing at the time it is prepared and must be updated throughout the life of the project, as appropriate. NIH encourages data management and sharing practices to be consistent with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data principles and reflect best practices within specific research communities.
