What is the Policy for Data Management and Data Sharing?

Fundamentally, the Policy articulates PCORI’s expectation that Awardees make the data and data documentation (Full Data Package) 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 Full Data Package 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.
