Today's biomedical researchers face tough new mandates for research rigor and reproducibility. Funders and journals regularly update their requirements for resource identification and authentication, transparency and openness, and sharing of data. These mandates are part of a larger movement to ensure that data is FAIR – findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (Wilkinson MD et al. Scientific Data 2016). dkNET gives NIDDK-supported researchers the tools and services they need to comply with these mandates and manage digital assets more effectively. You can use dkNET to:

• Comply with NIH mandates on resource identification and authentication.
• Manage and share FAIR research data.
• Generate a resource authentication report when you submit a grant proposal.

Coming soon is a tool that will guide you as you generate data management plans, giving you a deeper understanding of what FAIR means to you.
