I intend to apply for a Wellcome Trust or CRUK grant, what should I know about data sharing?

All Wellcome Trust and Cancer Research UK grant holders like grant applicants should be aware of the charities’ research data policies. To clarify their requirements, our colleagues at the University of Cambridge have asked them questions related to data management and data sharing.

Their answers are summarised in two useful blog posts:

• a presentation of the charities’ expectations on data sharing;
• answers to questions asked by researchers on access to data, quality control, conditions and costs of sharing, metadata standards and policy implementation.
