Background to Data Sharing PolicyBackground to Data Sharing Policy
• Introduced in April 2007
• Complements existing safeguards in scientific best practice– Need for curation of research data (10 years)
• Recognises BBSRC’s leadership role in responding to changing biosciences

Biosciences are ChangingBiosciences are Changing
• BBSRC sponsors wide range of research which generates large data sets– Increasingly high throughput– Multi/inter-disciplinary
• Data can be important for wider community, leads to new biological understanding– Data mining is increasingly important

Policy ContextPolicy Context
• BBSRC is one of a number of life science funders
• BBSRC does not own data outputs– These lie with institutions
• BBSRC has a fundamental interest in value for money in investments– Maximum impact (with excellent science)– Essential for continued success in leveraging
funds for biosciences from Science Budget

BBSRC’s PositionBBSRC’s Position
• Data sharing should be:– Science-driven – Community-led– Cost-effective
• Data sharing is separate from long-term archiving
• Data sharing should be practiced across the entirety of BBSRC science– Not just traditionally high-data areas
• IP and data sharing need to be tensioned– Enabling the former should not disrupt the latter

Policy StatementPolicy Statement
BBSRC:• Expects data generated to be made available with
as few restrictions as possible, in a timely manner– Not later than publication of main findings– Be in line with current best practice– Not be unduly delayed by IP/commercialisation
• Recognises that different research areas will require different approaches
• Recognises importance of data quality and providence– Appropriate metadata and standards

Data Sharing MechanismsData Sharing Mechanisms
• Where established community resources exist, use them
• Where they don’t…– Seek to create one– Share data via local arrangements
• Local website hosting• Access on request
• BBSRC will provide funds (through grants) to allow data sharing
![Page 9: Update on the Implementation of BBSRC Data Sharing Policy David McAllister Research, Innovation & Skills BBSRC Sharing Research Data: Pioneers, Policies.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5515ec5d55034638038b50f8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Data Sharing StatementsData Sharing Statements
• Data areas and types– Volume, type and content
• Standards and metadata– Relationship to other available data
• Secondary use– Further intended/forseeable users for dataset(s)
• Methods for data sharing– Access mechanisms
• Proprietary data– Any restrictions
• Timeframe for public release• Format of final datasets

Data Sharing and Peer ReviewData Sharing and Peer Review
• All applicants are expected to comment upon data sharing intentions– Can request additional (justified) resources to
support data sharing plan
• Data Sharing Statements are peer reviewed– Are the applicants’ intentions appropriate?
• Applicants will report against stated data sharing intentions after completion of grant
![Page 11: Update on the Implementation of BBSRC Data Sharing Policy David McAllister Research, Innovation & Skills BBSRC Sharing Research Data: Pioneers, Policies.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5515ec5d55034638038b50f8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Assessment of Data StatementsAssessment of Data Statements
• Proportionate– Assessed separately from scientific
excellence
• Should contribute to the assessment of the overall credibility of an application
• Peer review, rather than BBSRC review

Monitoring iMonitoring i
• Final reporting on awarded grants
• BBSRC-sponsored Institutes will have data sharing statements attached to their strategic programme grants (ISPG)
• Data Sharing Monitoring Group

Monitoring iiMonitoring ii
• Community has, in general, responded well
• Disparity in quality of responses, dependent on– Research area– Existing data sharing experience
• Few financial requests to support data-sharing activities
![Page 14: Update on the Implementation of BBSRC Data Sharing Policy David McAllister Research, Innovation & Skills BBSRC Sharing Research Data: Pioneers, Policies.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5515ec5d55034638038b50f8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Future ChallengesFuture Challenges
• How can success/impact of policy be measured?
• How will it affect research behaviour?– Culture change– Improved crafting of grants
• How is ‘best practice’ interpreted by reviewers across disciplines?
• Is data sharing suitably supported financially?

ConclusionsConclusions
• Still fairly early in the life-cycle of the policy to make concrete conclusions; but…
• Community acceptance appears to be high
• Increasing awareness of the benefits of sharing data (and associated metadata)
• Will become more important as ‘large data’ continues to increase in importance
