FINAL NIH STATEMENT ON SHARING RESEARCH DATA
RELEASE DATE: February 26, 2003
NOTICE: NOT-OD-03-032
National Institutes of Health ((NIH)
As part of NIH's long-standing policy to share and make available to
the public the results and accomplishments of the activities that it
funds, NIH announced and invited comments on a draft statement about
the sharing of final research data on March 1, 2002. Since that time,
NIH has received and reviewed many thoughtful comments from a range of
scientific organizations and over 150 individuals. Additionally, during
the comment period, HHS published final modifications for the STANDARDS
FOR PRIVACY OF INDIVIDUALLY IDENTIFIABLE HEALTH INFORMATION, the
"Privacy Rule," of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA), available at <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/ocr/">http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/</a>. The Privacy Rule is
a federal regulation that governs how certain health care providers,
health care clearinghouses, and health plans, known as "covered
entities," use and disclose identifiable health information. NIH has
carefully considered the comments and the Privacy Rule, and issues the
following statement on data sharing:
NIH reaffirms its support for the concept of data sharing. We believe
that data sharing is essential for expedited translation of research
results into knowledge, products, and procedures to improve human
health. The NIH endorses the sharing of final research data to serve
these and other important scientific goals. The NIH expects and
supports the timely release and sharing of final research data from
NIH-supported studies for use by other researchers. Starting with the
October 1, 2003 receipt date, investigators submitting an NIH
application seeking $500,000 or more in direct costs in any single year
are expected to include a plan for data sharing or state why data
sharing is not possible.
As indicated above, all investigator-initiated applications with direct
costs greater than $500,000 in any single year will be expected to
address data sharing in their application. Applicants are encouraged to
discuss their data sharing plan 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
<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-02-004.html">http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-02-004.html</a>.
Applicants are reminded that agreement to accept assignment of
applications over $500,000 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, Program Announcements (PA) may request data sharing plans
for applications that are less than $500,000 direct costs in any single
year. Reviewers will not factor the proposed data-sharing plan into
the determination of scientific merit or priority score. Program staff
will be responsible for overseeing the data sharing policy and for
assessing the appropriateness and adequacy of the proposed data-sharing
plan.
NIH recognizes that data sharing may be complicated or limited, in some
cases, by institutional policies, local IRB rules, as well as local,
state and Federal laws and regulations, including the Privacy Rule. As
NIH stated in the March 1, 2002 draft data sharing statement
(<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-02-035.html">http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-02-035.html</a>),
the rights and privacy of people 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.
The final NIH statement on data sharing is largely the same as stated
in the March 1, 2002 draft with the following exceptions:
o The effective start date has been changed from January 1, 2003 to
October 1, 2003 receipt date.
o This policy applies to applicants seeking $500,000 or more in direct
costs in any year of the project period. Such applicants are expected
to contact IC program staff prior to submission and are also expected
to include a data-sharing plan in their application stating how they
will share the data or, if they cannot share the data, why not.
Applicants responding to an RFA or RFP will find instructions related
to data sharing in the specific announcement.
o Several groups and individuals objected to sharing of research data
prior to publication. As noted earlier, NIH recognizes that the
investigators who collect the data have a legitimate interest in
benefiting from their investment of time and effort. We have therefore
revised our definition of "the timely release and sharing" to be no
later than the acceptance for publication of the main findings from the
final data set. NIH continues to expect that the initial investigators
may benefit from first and continuing use but not from prolonged
exclusive use.
