What Is PCORI’s Policy for Data Management and Data Sharing and How Does It Apply to this PFA?

Fundamentally, the Policy articulates PCORI’s expectation that Awardees make the data from their PCORI-funded research projects available to third-party requestors. Importantly, it provides funding to our Awardees for their time and effort in preparing the data to be shared. The Policy includes details about what data certain Awardees will be expected to deposit into a designated data repository and when that data would be available for third-party requests. It describes the data request process, the criteria used to assess the scientific merit of the requests, and the independent committee that will review data requests. Please refer to the Policy webpage, data sharing FAQs, and the PFA for more information on PCORI’s Policy for Data Management and Data Sharing.
