Data Sharing Playbook - how to unlock the potential of data sharing in IMI/IHI projects</div> </div> <div class="cht-body col-12 mb-3"> <p>Data sharing, both within and outside the consortium, is a common feature of many IMI and IHI projects. However, sharing data can raise legal, technical, data protection, ethical, and intellectual property questions. Now, a new <strong><a href="/sites/default/files/uploads/Documents/ProjectResources/IMI_IHI_DataSharingPlayBook_2024.pdf" target="_blank">Data Sharing Playbook</a></strong> is set to help new and existing consortia to understand the challenges and rapidly develop solutions, so that they can focus their efforts on what really matters: advancing collaborative and impactful research to improve health outcomes. Designed for everyone involved in data sharing in IMI/IHI projects, the playbook sets out the main concepts and roles/functions involved in data sharing; the key decisions that need to be taken during the project; the root causes of data sharing issues; and strategies to prevent and address these challenges, together with best and worst-case scenarios. Finally, the playbook provides links to a wide range of resources on data sharing, including examples, templates, guidelines, standards, and other resources.</p> <ul> <li>Download the <strong><a href="/sites/default/files/uploads/Documents/ProjectResources/IMI_IHI_DataSharingPlayBook_2024.pdf" target="_blank">Data Sharing Playbook</a> </strong></li> <li>Catch up on our <a href="https://www.ihi.europa.eu/news-events/events/masterclass-how-unlock-potential-data-sharing-collaborative-projects"><strong>online masterclass</strong></a> on the playbook held on 4 September 2024</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row" data-n1ed-block-id="536240"> <div class="col-12"> <div class="card-highlighted-title green" data-bootstrap-contains="rows"> <div class="row g-0"> <div class="cht-header col-12 mb-4 pb-2"> <div class="cht-title font-xl">Requirements for open access to scientific publications</div> </div> <div class="cht-body col-12 mb-3"> <p>In a nutshell, you must ensure open access (free, online access for any user) to all peer-reviewed publications relating to your results.

It assures people participating in research that their involvement is useful and that the results have been collated and reported for the benefit of all. In addition, it allows patients and healthcare professionals, or any other citizen, to find out more information about medicines they might be taking or prescribing. Transparency also enhances scientific knowledge and helps to advance clinical research and support more efficient medicine development programmes.</p> <p style="margin-bottom:11px">Clinical trials in the EU and EEA (European Economic Area) are governed by the Clinical Trials Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 536/2014). It is part of a broad initiative to transform the EU/EEA clinical trials environment in support of large clinical trials in multiple European countries, to the benefit of medical innovation and patients.</p> <p style="margin-bottom:11px">As of 31 January 2023, all initial clinical trial applications in the EU must be submitted via the <a href="https://euclinicaltrials.eu/" target="_blank">Clinical Trials Information System</a> (CTIS). The CTIS is now the single-entry point for sponsors and regulators of clinical trials for the submission and assessment of clinical trial data.</p> <p style="margin-bottom:11px">Meanwhile <a href="https://eudract.ema.europa.eu/" target="_blank">EudraCT</a> (the EU Drug Regulating Authorities Clinical Trials Database) and the associated <a href="https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu" target="_blank">EU Clinical Trial Register</a> remain active for some trials submitted to EudraCT from 1 May 2004 to 30 January 2023. While some trials can remain in EudraCT, others will have to transition their trials to CTIS; details can be found on the EudraCT website.</p> <p style="margin-bottom:11px">Whether a trial is in CTIS or EudraCT, sponsors must post results within one year after the end of a clinical trial (or six months for a paediatric trial). This information is also shared with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP).</p> <p style="margin-bottom:11px">In addition, IHI projects should take note of the rules described in the Horizon Europe clinical studies template: Irrespective of the successful completion of the clinical study, summary results must be posted in the applicable registry/ies (where the study was registered) even if the timing of posting of results falls outside of the grant period. The report is to be scheduled for the time results posting is expected or for the last months of the project, whichever comes earlier.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row" data-n1ed-block-id="536240"> <div class="col-12"> <div class="card-highlighted-title green" data-bootstrap-contains="rows"> <div class="row g-0"> <div class="cht-header col-12 mb-4 pb-2"> <div class="cht-title font-xl">Open access guidelines for projects working on COVID-19 and related topics</div> </div> <div class="cht-body col-12 mb-3"> <p style="margin-bottom:8px">To address the outbreak of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, we need to ensure that relevant research findings and data be shared as rapidly, openly and effectively as possible.

All projects with research outputs that - in any way - may be used to advance research on COVID-19, are encouraged to provide immediate open access to relevant publications, data and any other output possible, in line with the guidance.
