Policy

The national projects initiative for human whole genome sequencing constitutes a considerable investment by SciLifeLab. It has the potential to produce research data of great importance for medical research also outside of the awarded projects. SciLifeLab must ensure that the data produced achieves the highest possible impact. It will be a prerequisite for fundi ng that awarded projects will adhere to the general policy outlined above. Since the data generated is sensitive personal data, the following must also be addressed: A Data Access Agreement that defines under what terms and conditions data can be shared must be formulated. The SciLifeLab Data Office can aid in this when the funding has been awarded. Data must be shared based on the ethical considerations resulting from the consent agreements with the research participants. A Data Access Committee must be defined, that approves or denies access to the data is in accordance with the terms and conditions in the Data Access Agreement. Awarded projects will be supported in this by the SciLifeLab Data Office. Data must be deposited in a repository that has wel l defined process for requesting and granting access to the data in a secure manner according the Data Access Agreement.
