The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) issued new data-sharing guidance related to human subject research grants funded by NIAAA. The new requirements are effective immediately.
The Notice substantially changes the data sharing expectations for genomic data and data related to biosamples and genomic data. NIAAA has begun a new data-sharing initiative to create a data repository of future NIAAA-funded studies that include human subjects, called the NIAAA Data Archive (NIAAADA). This Notice does not supersede the general NIH Genome Data Sharing Policy. However, this Notice does mandate that the NIAAADA serve as the repository for all genomic data funded by NIAAA unless NIAAA agrees to a different data archive during the negotiation of the terms and conditions of the grant award.
NIAAA uses an established informatics infrastructure, hosted and managed by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Data Archive (NDA), to enable the sharing and the use of data collected from human subjects. This NIMH Data Archive (NDA) is a single, cloud-based data infrastructure comprised of harmonized datasets from multiple research communities, each of which has a different website and access governance. Grant applicants are strongly encouraged to review the NIAAADA website before submitting a human-subjects grant application to NIAAA.
