What should investigators do if they are contacted by other researchers who want to use their data but don’t want to go through the GWAS repository?
Principal Investigators who submitted GWAS data to the NIH GWAS data repository may share their project’s data directly with other investigators, following applicable regulatory requirements and institutional polices. However, investigators that receive the data through the NIH GWAS data repository should not provide data to any individual not included within the scope of the DAC-approved Data Access Request per the terms of access in the Data Use Certification.
