What US NIH Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy (2014, updated) requires
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy establishes the expectation that human and non-human genomic data generated from NIH-funded research will be broadly shared in NIH-designated data repositories to enable maximum scientific use. The Policy was issued in 2014 (NOT-OD-14-124) and updated to align with the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy that requires a Data Management and Sharing Plan with every NIH-funded research project that generates scientific data. The GDS Policy applies to all NIH-funded research that generates large-scale human and non-human genomic data, including whole-genome sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, large-scale single nucleotide polymorphism arrays, and large-scale gene expression datasets. The Policy expects investigators to register the study with the dbGaP database, deposit the data in an NIH-designated repository (such as dbGaP, AnVIL, or the Sequence Read Archive), submit institutional certifications confirming compliance with informed consent and data use limitations, and follow data use limitation statements when accessing controlled-access data. Data Access Committees (DACs) review requests for controlled-access data. The Policy requires participant informed consent for broad sharing in unrestricted or controlled-access repositories and applies to data generated on or after the 25 January 2015 effective date. The 21st Century Cures Act 2016 reinforced the federal commitment to broad genomic data sharing while preserving informed consent and privacy protections under the Common Rule and HIPAA where applicable.
