NIH launches new scientific data sharing website

The National Institutes of Health has announced the availability of a new website on Scientific Data Sharing. Whether you are involved in an NIH-funded project and want to understand which sharing policies apply to your research and how to comply, or you are a researcher looking to access scientific data from NIH-affiliated repositories, this new website is for you. 

The website will help users navigate NIH data policies and provide step-by-step guides, infographics, tools and resources to help them on their way. In the case of clinical trials and public access policies, the site provides a central access point and visibility to these policies, and links out to existing NIH sites for more information.

A key goal of the site is to serve as a central portal, providing information on both NIH-wide and NIH Institute and Center-specific sharing policies and data repositories in a way that is easily sortable and searchable.  For more information, see video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2AdQZRjOHA.
