1. What is a primary capability of AI when drafting NIH Data Management and Sharing Plan narratives?

   1. Automatically selecting the best repository for the research without human input
   2. Transforming raw, disorganized notes into a structured summary that highlights key decisions
   3. Generating metadata standards that comply with all NIH policies automatically
   4. Eliminating the need for Principal Investigator review of the final document

2. According to the concepts presented, what should an AI-drafted DMSP summary contain to be useful for submission?

   1. A one-paragraph headline framing, three substantive points with caveats, and two explicit decisions for reviewer resolution
   2. A list of all team members and their specific responsibilities for data handling
   3. A complete bibliography of all data sources and a full technical specification of database architecture
   4. A detailed budget breakdown and timeline for each phase of the project

3. What limitation of AI is highlighted when it comes to stakeholder communication in the data management planning process?

   1. AI will automatically identify all relevant stakeholders and contact them appropriately
   2. AI cannot determine which stakeholders require separate conversations before the document is finalized
   3. AI can handle all political and ethical negotiations between team members without supervision
   4. AI can read relational dynamics and suggest optimal meeting schedules for discussions

4. Why does the lesson caution against including a repository in the DMSP that the Principal Investigator has never used?

   1. Because AI cannot accurately name any repository that hasn't been pre-approved by NIH
   2. Because repositories not previously used by the PI are automatically flagged as non-compliant
   3. Because NIH automatically rejects applications listing unfamiliar repositories
   4. Because the actual deposit workflow may differ from expectations, causing post-award complications

5. What type of questions can AI surface in a draft DMSP that humans might otherwise miss?

   1. Questions about competitor research and publication strategies
   2. Questions about the PI's personal research history and career goals
   3. Unresolved questions that the input materials imply but the draft narrative glosses over
   4. Questions regarding budget allocation that should be discussed with the funding agency

6. The lesson emphasizes that AI can restructure raw notes into something the PI can 'defend at submission.' What does 'defend' most likely mean in this context?

   1. The PI must verbally present the entire document to a committee before submission
   2. The PI must be able to justify and explain the decisions documented in the plan to NIH reviewers
   3. The PI must defend the AI tool itself as appropriate for grant writing
   4. The PI must argue against AI-generated content that is incorrect or misleading

7. What does the lesson identify as a capability AI does WELL in the DMSP drafting process?

   1. Independently selecting repositories without any human oversight
   2. Restructuring raw notes on data management into a coherent, decision-ready summary
   3. Automatically determining which stakeholders should be consulted before document finalization
   4. Reading the room to detect political or ethical concerns among team members

8. A student asks why they can't just let AI handle the entire DMSP without human review. Based on the lesson, what is the most accurate response?

   1. AI always produces perfectly accurate data so human review is redundant
   2. AI can independently verify that all access controls comply with NIH regulations
   3. AI will automatically catch any errors in metadata standards or repository selection
   4. AI may surface unresolved questions that need human resolution before the plan can be finalized

9. The lesson mentions that AI cannot 'read the room' when concerns are political, ethical, or relational rather than analytical. What does this statement imply about DMSP development?

   1. The PI should defer all relational decisions to AI to avoid personal conflict
   2. DMSP development may involve interpersonal and institutional dynamics that require human navigation
   3. AI can detect ethical concerns but lacks authority to address them in writing
   4. Political and ethical issues in data management are rare and can be safely ignored

10. In the context of the lesson, what makes a DMSP narrative 'decision-ready'?

    1. It eliminates the need for any discussion between the PI and reviewers
    2. It contains all final decisions already approved by the funding committee
    3. It clearly presents the key decisions that must be made and what the reviewer must resolve before approval
    4. It is written in a decision-tree format that reviewers can follow mechanically

11. What organizational elements must be included in the DMSP narrative structure the lesson describes?

    1. Data types, repositories, metadata standards, and access controls
    2. Budget justifications, personnel qualifications, and publication timelines
    3. Animal care protocols, informed consent procedures, and safety certifications
    4. Letters of support, biographical sketches, and facility descriptions

12. A researcher uses AI to draft their DMSP and notices the output identifies several gaps in their planning. What should they do next, based on the lesson?

    1. Address the identified gaps by consulting with relevant stakeholders before finalizing the document
    2. Submit the document as-is since AI has already completed the necessary analysis
    3. Ask the AI to generate more gaps to ensure comprehensive coverage
    4. Dismiss the gaps as AI errors since the researcher already knows their data plan

13. What is the primary value of having the AI draft include explicit 'asks' or decisions for reviewers?

    1. It forces clarification of ambiguous elements before NIH reviewers encounter problems post-submission
    2. It allows the PI to avoid taking responsibility for controversial choices
    3. It ensures the AI receives credit for the document's intellectual content
    4. It satisfies NIH's requirement that all DMSPs be co-authored by AI systems

14. Why might an AI-drafted DMSP that names a popular repository still cause problems for the PI?

    1. Popular repositories require expensive subscription fees that weren't budgeted
    2. Popular repositories are always rejected by NIH for DMSP inclusion
    3. AI always selects the wrong repository due to training data limitations
    4. Even popular repositories may have specific deposit procedures the PI has never personally navigated

15. What is the main reason the lesson emphasizes human validation of AI-generated repository mentions?

    1. To guarantee the repository will accept the PI's specific data type regardless of quality
    2. To ensure the described deposit process matches what the PI will actually need to do post-award
    3. To satisfy copyright laws governing the use of AI in academic writing
    4. To comply with NIH's requirement that all repositories be government-owned
