The UCSD libraries in collaboration with NIF have put together an example of an authentication document that you may work with for your next NIH grant.
This addresses the new announcements by NIH for better transparency and rigor:

NOT-OD-16-081
NOT-OD-16-058
NOT-OD-16-034
NOT-OD-16-011
NOT-OD-16-031
NOT-OD-16-012
NOT-OD-16-005
NOT-OD-16-004
NOT-OD-15-103
NOT-OD-15-102

The example document is here: http://libraries.ucsd.edu/services/data-curation/data-management/write-dmp/ExampleAuthenticationKeyBiologicalChemicalResources.pdf

This example uses the RRID system to identify and some emerging standards from the HUPO group and ICLAC (iclac.org) for an authentication rubric.
