AHA Open Data Policy
American Heart Association
Open Data Sharing Policy
For awards beginning in FY23-24, the American Heart Association (AHA) modified its Open Data Policy to align with the NIH’s new timeline for data sharing. This will be effective for proposals received after July 1, 2023. Existing awards are subject to the policy in place when the award agreement was signed.
The AHA requires certain applicants to include a data sharing plan with the proposal. Any factual data that is needed for independent
verification of research results must be made freely and publicly available in an AHA-approved repository as soon as possible, and no later than the time of an associated publication or the end of the award period (and any no-cost extension), whichever comes first.
University of Iowa
Research Data Policy
The University of Iowa and its researchers share an interest in assuring that research data are accurately and appropriately recorded, used, retained, and available for review and sharing. In addition, increased mobility among academic researchers has resulted in the need to provide policies governing continued access to research data.
