News Release
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Genomic Data Sharing Policy includes expectations for how researchers should obtain, share and access genomic data from human and non-human sources. As a leader in genomics, including relevant policy development and implementation, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) encourages data sharing practices that go beyond the NIH expectations.
