RENEWABLE REAGENTS AND DATA SHARING

It is essential that SFARI Investigators share renewable reagents and data developed with SFARI funds with other qualified investigators. Please note that genetically modified model organisms (e.g., transgenic mice) are considered renewable reagents.

Please address the execution of your Renewable Reagents and Data-Sharing Plan, and any changes from the original Plan.

Please address the following questions in your plan:

1.What data were generated by your research during this funding period?

2.Has there been a change in your plan for sharing all data? The plan should include a timeline and type of shared content (e.g., file types).

3.What renewable reagents were generated by your research during this funding period?

4.Has there been a change in your plan for sharing the renewable reagents?

Please note that the Simons Foundation reserves the right to modify the Renewable Reagents and Data Sharing Plan. For a full description of the foundation’s policies on sharing data and renewable reagents, please see the following website:
