Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy

Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy FAQ

"In addition to any existing sponsor requirements, grant recipients will be required to archive all digital research data, metadata and code that directly support research conclusions in journal publications and pre-prints into a digital repository. Determining what counts as relevant research data, and which data should be preserved, is often highly contextual and should be guided by disciplinary norms."

After reviewing the institutional strategies and in line with the readiness of the Canadian research community, the agencies will phase in the data deposit requirement. This requirement is not currently in effect.

Recipients of CIHR funding are required to "deposit bioinformatics, atomic, and molecular coordinate data into the appropriate public database (e.g., gene sequences deposited in GenBank) immediately upon publication of research results."

For further information and examples of research outputs and their corresponding repositories refer to the Annex.

Applies to projects funded partly or totally by CIHR.

Approved Genome Canada projects must address the sharing of resources generated by the projects such as unique biological specimens and computer programs designed to analyze datasets.

Data must be made available at the time of publication of the research project.

Large datasets collected over several periods of time can be shared in phases or as data becomes available.

Applies to projects funded partly or totally by Genome Canada.

NIH Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy

NIH Data Sharing Policies

NIH Data Management & Sharing Policy Overview

Data sharing policies may apply depending on the specific IC, division, and program levels at the NIH.

In general, research data should be publicly available when possible, while safeguarding the privacy of participants, and protecting confidential and proprietary data.

Scientific data are expected to be shared by the earlier of the following two timepoints:

• The time of an associated publication: At a minimum, scientific data supporting a publication must be shared by the time of publication (online or in print whichever comes first).
• The end of the performance period: Other scientific data not disseminated through peer-reviewed publications must be shared by the end of the performance period. Sharing high quality scientific data that are not included in a publication, including "negative results", is encouraged.

"During a research project’s funding period, compliance with the DMS [Data Management and Sharing] plan will be determined by the NIH Institute or Center. After the end of the funding period, non-compliance with the DMS plan may be taken into account by NIH for future funding decisions for the recipient institution."

Researchers are expected to share their data at no more than incremental cost, and within a reasonable time. This includes primary data, samples, physical collections and other supporting materials created or gathered in the course of work under the NSF Grant.

Specific requirements based on different NSF directorates, offices, divisions or programs can be found here. 

Horizon Europe Programme Guide

EU Grants AGA - Annotated Grant Agreement 2021-2027 (version 2.0)

Data must be deposited in Trusted Repositories as soon as possible after data production and at the latest by the end of the project, under the principle “as open as possible and as closed as necessary”. 

Personal websites and databases, publisher websites, as well as cloud storage services (Dropbox, Google drive, etc) are NOT considered repositories. Academia.edu, ResearchGate and similar platforms do not allow open access under the terms required.
