THIS EVENT IS RESERVED FOR PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR HUMAN GENETICS (ASHG) ANNUAL CONFERENCE. YOU MUST BE REGISTERED TO ATTEND THE ASHG ANNUAL MEETING TO REGISTER FOR THIS SESSION
This session will give an overview of the NIH Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy that sets forth expectations that ensure the broad and responsible sharing of large-scale human or non-human data. The GDS Policy applies to all NIH-funded research that generates large-scale human or non-human genomic data as well as the use of these data for subsequent research. The ancillary meeting will also provide in-depth understanding of GDS Policy privacy protection when working with human genomic data and navigate attendees through the recent implementation changes to harmonize with the NIH Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy (NOT-OD-22-198, NOT-OD-21-013). This is a great opportunity for ASHG attendees to meet experts from NIH and discuss GDS Policy questions.
Speakers: Cheryl Jacobs, Ph.D., Team Lead, NIH Genomic Data Sharing Policy, Office of Science Policy and Julia Slutsman, Ph.D., Director, NIH Genomic Data Sharing Policy Implementation, Office of Extramural Research. Website: https://sharing.nih.gov/
