FAIRsharing record for: HRB Policy on Management and Sharing of Research Data

This FAIRsharing record describes: The Health Research Board (HRB) of Ireland supports and promotes research that will improve people’s health, patient care and health service delivery. The primary output from the research projects funded by the HRB is often the data gathered and generated to support observations and validate the project. To ensure that this data is used to its maximum potential, data needs to be adequately managed from the earliest stage in the research process and should be preserved and made available for reuse beyond the original project.

This policy is intended to promote the responsible management and sharing of research data, and the software and materials that underpin its use, with as few restrictions as possible to maximise its value for research and for patient and public benefit.
