Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

The PI will adhere to the NIH Sharing of Biomedical Research Resources: Guidelines for Recipients of NIH Grants and Contracts on Obtaining and Disseminating Biomedical Research Resources. 1. Quality-controlled raw data as well as processed data used in publications will be de-identified before sharing upon "reasonable request". As described in the proposal, workflows and structure will be exactly described in reports and documented to allow precisely reproduce results from raw data and replicate methodology. Final data (computerized datasets with raw data and derived variables) that have not yet been published will be shared in a timely manner. 2. Software programs (i.e. experimental paradigm scripts produced for this study) and documentation will be made available for research purposes to replicate findings upon "reasonable request", and any software/script sharing requirements by journals.
