NOTICES
The HRS ATW network is excited to share an upcoming opportunity from our Biomarker Network collaborators. Please see details below regarding the call for abstracts for presentations at their May 6 in-person meeting (submission deadline is January 5, 2026).
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is requesting public input on its proposal to establish harmonized and transparent policy requirements for protecting human participant research data. Specifically, NIH proposes to:
(1) establish policy requirements for which data should be controlled-access under NIH data sharing policies, and
(2) revise the NIH Genomic Data Sharing Policy to simplify and harmonize requirements.
The full proposal can be found here. Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback on the policy proposals as described in the request for information. Comments must be submitted electronically at https://osp.od.nih.gov/comment-form-draft-nih-controlled-access-data-policy-and-proposed-revisions-to-nih-genomic-data-sharing-policy/ Responses will be accepted through March 4, 2026.
Questions may be sent to SciencePolicy@od.nih.gov
