NIH Requests Public Comment

NIH Requests Public Comment on Draft NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing and Supplemental Draft Guidance

The NIH released a Draft NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing and supplemental draft guidance for public comment.  The purpose of this draft policy and supplemental draft guidance is to promote effective and efficient data management and sharing that furthers NIH’s commitment to making the results and accomplishments of the research it funds and conducts available to the public.

Complete information about the draft policy and draft supplemental guidance can be found on the NIH OSP website. 

Stakeholder feedback is essential to ensure that the Draft Policy maximizes responsible data sharing, minimizes burden on researchers, and protects the privacy of research participants.  Stakeholders are invited to comment on any or all aspects of the Draft Policy, the supplemental draft guidance, or other considerations relevant to the Draft Policy proposal that NIH should consider.  To facilitate commenting, NIH has established a comment form that can be accessed at: https://osp.od.nih.gov/draft-data-sharing-and-management. 

Deadline for input: January 10, 2020

NIH will be hosting a webinar on the draft policy in early December. Details to follow. Questions may be sent to SciencePolicy@mail.nih.gov.
