NIH released a Genomic Data Sharing Policy. This policy applies to all NIH-funded research (e.g., grants, contracts, intramural research) that generates large-scale human or non-human genomic data, regardless of the funding level, as well as the use of these data for subsequent research.
Note that as of 2019, NIH requires ORCIDs (Open Researcher and Contributor IDs) for all trainees, scholars, and participants supported by institutional research training, career development, and research education awards*. This requirement will be expanded to all individuals applying for individual fellowship and career development awards in 2020. ORCID is a non-profit organization that provides a persistent digital identifier for individuals participating in research, scholarship, and innovation. Benefits of ORCID include:
*Grants requiring ORCIDs: T03, T15, T32, T34, T35, T37, T42, T90/R90, TL1, TL4, TU2, K12/KL2, R25, R38, RL5, RL9, F05, F30, F31, F32, F33, F37, F38, F99/K00, FI2, K01, K02, K05, K07, K08, K18, K22, K23, K24, K25, K26, K38, K43, K76, K99/R00
