•The NIH will expect investigators supported by NIH funding to make their research
data available to the scientific community for subsequent analyses.
•The NIH will require that data sharing be addressed in grant
applications (e.g., in sections related to significance, budget, and the end of the research
plan) and in the review of applications.
•Applicants whose research will produce data that are not amenable to
sharing should
include in the application reasons for not making the data
available.
