1.5 Sharing Research Resources
Investigators conducting biomedical research frequently develop unique
research resources. NIH
considers the sharing of such unique research resources (also called
research tools) an important
means to enhance the value of NIH-sponsored research. Restricting the
availability of unique
resources can impede the advancement of further research. Therefore, when
these resources are
developed with NIH funds and the associated research findings have been
published or after they
have been provided to NIH, it is important that they be made readily
available for research purposes
to qualified individuals within the scientific community. At the same time
NIH recognizes the rights of
grantees and contractors to elect and retain title to subject inventions
developed with federal funding
pursuant to the Bayh Dole Act. See the NIH Grants Policy Statement, and the
Office of Extramural
Research, Division of Extramural Inventions & Technology Resources (DEITR),
Intellectual Property
Policy page: http://inventions.nih.gov.
The adequacy of resource sharing plans is considered by reviewers when a
competing application is
evaluated. Reviewers are asked to describe their assessment of the sharing
plan(s) in an
administrative note, and will not normally include their assessment in the
overall impact/priority score.
Program staff are responsible for overseeing resource sharing policies and
for assessing the
appropriateness and adequacy of any proposed resource sharing plans.

1.5.1 Data Sharing Policy
All investigator-initiated applications with direct costs of $500,000 or
greater (exclusive of consortium
F&A) in any single year are expected to address data-sharing in their
application. Applicants are
encouraged to discuss data-sharing plans with their program contact at the
time they negotiate an
agreement with the Institute/Center (IC) staff to accept assignment of their
application as described at
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/ notice-files/NOT-OD-02-004.html.
Applicants are reminded that agreement to accept assignment of applications
$500,000 or greater
must be obtained at least six weeks in advance of the anticipated submission
date. Instructions
related to the data-sharing policy as it is applied to applications and
proposals responding to a specific
Request for Application (RFA) or Request for Proposals (RFP) will be
described in the specific
solicitation. In some cases, other Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs)
may request data-
sharing plans for applications that are less than $500,000 direct costs in
any single year.
NIH recognizes that in some cases data-sharing may be complicated or limited
by institutional
policies, local IRB rules, as well as local, state and Federal laws and
regulations, including the HIPAA
Privacy Rule. The rights and privacy of individuals who participate in
NIH-sponsored research must be
protected at all times. Thus, data intended for broader use should be free
of identifiers that would
permit linkages to individual research participants and variables that could
lead to deductive
disclosure of the identity of individual subjects. When data-sharing is
limited, applicants should explain
such limitations in their data-sharing plans.
For more information on data-sharing, please see:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/ policy/data_sharing/
and the NIH Final Policy on Sharing Research Data.
=============================================================================
5.5.15 Resource Sharing Plan(s)
NIH considers the sharing of unique research resources developed through
NIH-sponsored research
an important means to enhance the value and further the advancement of the
research. When
resources have been developed with NIH funds and the associated research
findings published or
provided to NIH, it is important that they be made readily available for
research purposes to qualified
individuals within the scientific community. See Part III, 1.5 Sharing
Research Resources.
(a) Data Sharing Plan: Investigators seeking $500,000 or more in direct
costs (exclusive of
consortium F&A) in any year are expected to include a brief 1-paragraph
description of how final
research data will be shared, or explain why data-sharing is not possible.
Specific FOAs may require
that all applications include this information regardless of the dollar
level. Applicants are encouraged
to read the specific opportunity carefully and discuss data-sharing plans
with their program contact at
the time they negotiate an agreement with the Institute/Center (IC) staff to
accept assignment of their
application. See Data-Sharing Policy or
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-03-
032.html.
(b) Sharing Model Organisms: Regardless of the amount requested, all
applications where the
development of model organisms is anticipated are expected to include a
description of a specific plan
for sharing and distributing unique model organisms or state appropriate
reasons why such sharing is
restricted or not possible. See Sharing Model Organisms Policy, and NIH
Guide NOT-OD-04-042.
