Abstract

In this presentation, given at the Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL) Symposium on November 21, 2024, medical librarians were introduced to a variety of resource materials created by the NIH Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI) on best practices for data management and sharing in generalist repositories that could be leveraged for data management and sharing training and consultations. Representatives from GREI repositories presented and provided the rationale and development process for both published and in-progress resources including: a generalist repository comparison chart, a generalist repository selection flowchart, a data deposit best practices checklist, and a Data Management and Sharing Plan (DMSP) guide and template. We demonstrated using GREI resources to support data sharing in generalist repositories in compliance with NIH/OSTP requirements. As part of this presentation, we solicited the expert feedback of the MIRL community, the members of which occupy a critical role in the data management and sharing process. Their feedback helped us ensure that our GREI resources were as useful and applicable as possible to those working with NIH-funded researchers.

Aiding Medical Librarians with Data Management and Sharing: Resources from the NIH Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative Ana Van Gulick, PhD, Figshare Pearl Go, MA, Northwestern University on behalf of Zenodo November 21, 2024 A strong repository landscape provides researchers with multiple locations to share their data. The inclusion of trusted generalist repositories in the NIH data sharing ecosystem is helping to catalyze the ﬂexible sharing of data and other research outputs in any format that cannot be shared elsewhere.
