The NIEHS is seeking input on ways to encourage broader data sharing among researchers in the field of environmental health sciences who are conducting clinical or epidemiologic studies. Input is being sought from the environmental health science extramural research community and other interested stakeholders. Information is requested regarding additional perspectives on what, if any, unique considerations exist for sharing of data in studies collecting environmental exposure information, what are the primary characteristics of successful data sharing resources and strategies in use currently by researchers, what are the barriers to broad sharing of data and what additional resources and tools are needed to promote timelier, more efficient sharing of environmental health science data.
