Writing a Data Management and Sharing Plan
The NIH sets out the elements a Data Management and Sharing Plan must address, including how much you will share, when, for how long, how you will protect participant privacy, and which repository will hold which data type. It gives worked examples of justifications the NIH accepts and ones it rejects. Fifteen minutes here produces a plan that matches what your consent form and IRB application already say, which is where most inconsistencies are caught.
