How soon can qualified scientists from around the world gain access to data stored at the NCGS?
A14. Access to DNA and anonymized clinical data is dependent upon the data sharing plan of the submitting PI. In general, access can occur if one of the following conditions are met: either18 months after the ending date of the grant period for the first competitive award (the proprietary period), upon initial publication of the sample set, or upon early release as defined by the investigator. Requests for access will start sometime in 2006. For information on availability of samples, the NCGS website (http://zork.wustl.edu/).
