In 2022, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) released a memo requiring that all federal funding agencies implement policies for immediate sharing of data for their grantees. While data sharing is still mandated, in 2026 we see many agencies changing certain aspects of their policies and practices.

This session will review National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), Center for Disease Control (CDC), US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) changes, as well as address the Gold Standard Science memo (PDF). This session is open to faculty, instructors, researchers, post-docs, graduate students and anyone who wants to learn more. Visit the Research Data Services page.
