Are completed or currently ongoing NIDDK-funded multi-site studies required to submit samples and data to the repositories?
NIH policy is that the unique resources developed through NIH funding are to be shared with the research community, to the extent that sharing of clinical data and materials is practical. Therefore, all current and complete multi-site NIDDK-funded studies should have a plan or should develop a plan for sharing data and samples. Wherever practical, the NIDDK Central Repositories should be used to facilitate sharing.
