NHGRI Guidance on Writing a Resource Sharing Plan

This page provides an overview of Resource Sharing Plans, a required document in most NIH funding applications. Most applicants for NIH funding must provide a Resource Sharing Plan (RSP) documenting plans for sharing resources that result from their federally funded work. NIH Policies that govern the sharing of resources include the NIH Model Organism Sharing Policy and the NIH Research Tools Policy.

Gene Sweepstakes (GeneSweep)

The Gene Sweepstakes — or GeneSweep as it became popularly known — was a three-year-long, sweepstakes-style contest organized by British bioinformatician Ewan Birney, Ph.D., of the European Bioinformatics Institute. Scientists participated in the contest by betting on the total number of protein-coding genes that would be identified in the human genome sequence generated by the Human Genome Project.
