NIH has released the Final NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing, which requires NIH funded researchers to prospectively submit a plan outlining how scientific data will be managed and shared. For more information, please see a Director’s Statement by Dr. Francis Collins as well as the newest Under the Poliscope blog from Dr. Carrie Wolinetz here.
