Pepkio DMP in a Flash

Automated biomedical Data Management and Sharing Plan (DMSP) generator and NIH/NSF compliance validator for scientific grant proposals.

What It Does

The pepkio-dmp-in-a-flash Python package creates, validates, and formats 2-page biomedical Data Management and Sharing Plans compliant with the NIH (2023/2026) and NSF data sharing mandates. It provides pre-configured domain templates for human WGS, mouse RNA-seq, Cryo-EM, medical imaging, and metagenomics, evaluates funder compliance, and exports formatted Word (.docx) documents.

Features

• Funder Templates: Full support for the 6 required NIH DMS Plan elements (NOT-OD-21-013) and NSF BIO guidelines.
• Scientific Presets: Built-in scenarios for human WGS (dbGaP), model organism RNA-seq (GEO/SRA), Cryo-EM (EMDB/PDB), clinical imaging (TCIA), and metagenomics.
• Automated Compliance Engine: Validates repository selections, timelines, and participant privacy protections against 12+ criteria.
• 2-Page Estimator: Real-time length tracking to stay within mandatory grant page limits.
• DOCX & Markdown Export: Generate submission-ready Word documents with PI title blocks.
• CLI & Python SDK: Scriptable interface for institutional grant offices and research teams.

Installation

pip install pepkio-dmp-in-a-flash

Or using uv:

uv add pepkio-dmp-in-a-flash

Quick Example

from pepkio_dmp_in_a_flash import PepkioClient

with PepkioClient() as client:
    # Generate an NIH DMS plan for Mouse RNA-seq
    dmp = client.run({
        "action": "generate",
        "funder": "nih-2026",
        "project": {
            "piName": "Dr. Jane Smith",
            "proposalTitle": "Transcriptomic Analysis of Fibrosis"
        },
        "intake": {
            "dataCategory": "model_organism",
            "dataDescription": "Bulk RNA-seq FASTQ and count tables",
            "repository": "geo",
            "accessLevel": "open",
            "sharingTimelineMonths": 6
        }
    })

    print("Generated NIH DMS Plan:\n", dmp.result["text"])

Typical Use Cases

• NIH R01/R21/U01 Grant Applications: Quickly draft compliant 2-page DMS plans for NIH proposal submissions.
• Controlled-Access Human Genomics: Draft policy language for dbGaP, AnVIL, and BioData Catalyst repositories.
• Transcriptomics & Imaging Grants: Standardize GEO/SRA deposition timelines and DICOM de-identification protocols.

Scientific Background

The NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy requires prospective planning across 6 core elements: Data Type, Tools/Software, Standards (e.g. MINSEQE), Preservation/Timelines, Access/Reuse Considerations, and Oversight.

Web Application

For interactive plan drafting, real-time compliance scoring, and one-click DOCX download, an interactive web version is available.
