[Peris Team]

Per NOT-OD-26-120<https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-26-120.html> (released October 5, 2026), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) no longer requires Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Plans for Career Development (K) awards. This change is effective immediately and applies to active awards, pending applications, and future submissions.

If a DMS Plan is attached in the SF-424 application, an error will display (Figure 1).
Figure 1. SF-424 Error

Remove the DMS Plan attachment to resolve the error.
