Example Data Sharing Plan for FOA--
!hat data that "ill #e shared$
I !ill share "henot#"ic $ata associate$ !ith the collecte$ sam"les %# $e"ositing these $ata at

I agree that $ata !ill %e $e"osite$ an$ ma$e aaila%le through &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& !hich is an NIH'
fun$e$ re"ositor#, an$ that these $ata !ill %e share$ !ith inestigators !or1ing un$er an institution !ith a

!here "ill the data #e a%aila#le$
I agree to $e"osit an$ maintain the "henot#"ic $ata, an$ secon$ar# anal#sis of $ata (if an#) at
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&, !hich is an NIH'fun$e$ re"ositor# an$ that the re"ositor# has $ata access "olicies

!hen "ill the data #e shared$
I agree to $e"osit genetic outcome $ata into &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& re"ositor# as soon as "ossi%le %ut no
later than !ithin one #ear of the com"letion of the fun$e$ "ro2ect "erio$ for the "arent a!ar$ or u"on

Ho" "ill resear&hers lo&ate and a&&ess the data$
I agree that I !ill i$entif# !here the $ata !ill %e aaila%le an$ ho! to access the $ata in an# "u%lications
