Implementation Update for Data Management and Access Practices Under the Genomic Data Sharing Policy

Purpose

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is updating two practices under the NIH Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy to continue to promote responsible data management and access. These changes are to ensure GDS Policy implementation continues to evolve alongside changing practices for collecting, sharing, and using controlled-access human genomic data and include (1) modernizing security standards provided in the “NIH Security Best Practices for Controlled-Access Data Subject to the NIH Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy” and (2) establishing minimum expectations for access to controlled-access data by developers. This implementation update will take effect on January 25, 2025.
