Who Should Attend: All researchers and their institutional officials who have access to or are planning to request access to use controlled-access genomics data hosted by NIH data repositories.

During these information sessions, NIH will provide users of NIH Controlled Access Data repositories and their institutions an overview of Guide Notice NOT-OD-24-157 "Implementing Update for Data Management and Access Practices Under the Genomic Data Sharing Policy" and related FAQs.

NIH will provide an overview of the requirements, assist organizations with understanding how they can be compliant with the requirements, and answer any questions users and their institutions have. Users and their institutions are encouraged to submit their questions by December 27th to ensure answers are provided during the informational sessions. Questions may be submitted to gds@mail.nih.gov .
