Information on the difference between a Co-Investigator and Key Person on an NIH submission may be found under the section “Who is an Investigator?” found on MIT’s Financial Conflict of Interest website.
You will need to create your proposal as usual within Kuali Coeus. Once you have this created, you will then need to select your print option. When this screen appears, there should be a box where you can select the forms in which you wish to print.You can also exclude the forms you do not need. You can print this to PDF format and see if they have been formatted correctly.
The DMS Plan should be included on:

The following Elements are to be included:
NIH has several resources, along with sample DMS Plans and an optional DMS Plan format page. Please see: https://sharing.nih.gov/data-management-and-sharing-policy/planning-and-budgeting-for-data-management-and-sharing/writing-a-data-management-and-sharing-plan#after
Information on the Resource Sharing Plan for R21’s (PA-06-181- parent R21)
R21 does NOT require data-sharing; R01 requires both Data and Resource sharing).
The Resource Sharing Plan has always been listed in the NIH Parent R21 PA-06-181 as a required narrative – especially for biomedical research, though the language is such that if sharing is not appropriate/possible, it's not mandatory (the sharing -- not the file!).
While lack of this narrative does not prompt errors at eCommons, it has come to RAS’s attention that this NIH initiative is being pointed out to review panels. While the plan may not affect the review score, it IS a factor at the funding stage! We don’t want our MIT applications passed up for the lack of attention to this item.
So while prior MIT submissions may have been submitted without this plan, ERA team is noting all applications where this is not addressed by the PI in any NIH opportunity that notes this as a requirement.
Please pass this information on to your PI– cut straight from NIH Parent R21: PA-06-181
Sharing Research DATA is NOT applicable for R21.
NIH policy requires that grant awardee recipients make unique research resources readily available for research purposes to qualified individuals within the scientific community after publication (See the NIH Grants Policy Statement:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps_2013/nihgps_ch8.htm#_Toc271264950).
Investigators responding to this funding opportunity should include a sharing research resources plan addressing how unique research resources will be shared or explain why sharing is not possible.
The adequacy of the resources sharing plan will be considered by Program staff of the funding organization when making recommendations about funding applications. The effectiveness of the resource sharing will be evaluated as part of the administrative review of each Non-Competing Grant Progress Report (PHS 2590). See Section VI.3. “Reporting.”
The changes to the proposal should be addressed in the introduction section of the science. The upload name is PHS_ResearchPlan_IntroductionToApplication
An Introduction must be included that summarizes the substantial additions, deletions and changes to the application. The Introduction must also include a response to the issues and criticism raised in the Summary Statement. The Introduction is separate from the Cover Letter and should be placed immediately before item 2. of the Research Plan.
Page Limits for the Introduction: It should not exceed one page unless the FOA specifies otherwise.

In particular, please see: Introduction to Application (Resubmission and Revision)
The use of Changed/Corrected for Submission Type is dependent upon the Proposal Type that you are amending, and only for Grants.gov submissions.
Changed/Corrected is only to be used to amend a prior submission that errored at Grants.gov. As there are now new Proposal Types, there are also new Changed/Corrected versions for them. These types include:
However, if you wish to increase or decrease an existing award, you would use the Proposal Type Supplement. Please use the Proposal Type per the Sponsor’s instructions.
If this is a Resubmission of a previously unfunded application to NIH, your Proposal Typeon the general info screen of Kuali Coeus should be Resubmission, and on the Grants.gov window you should go with the default Submission Type of "Application".
If this description is not the case for the proposal you are working on, for additional guidance please refer to the NIH SF424 Application Guide which contains detailed instructions on which proposal type to use, refer to the FAQs at the NIH Electronic Submission website, or consult with your RAS Contract Administrator.
