Description: This study will aim to accomplish two specific goals by assessing the availability of health sciences research datasets funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). The first goal will be to understand the Canadian data sharing landscape by reviewing how and where Canadian health sciences researchers share their data. The second goal will be to compare Canadian researchers’ current data sharing practices to the Tri-agency’s proposed framework for research data management and sharing. The information gathered from this study will be used to identify gaps within the Canadian data sharing landscape, and help inform the future development of data policy, infrastructure and research data management support by highlighting the key challenges and opportunities with respect to data sharing in a Canadian context.
