POLICY RESOURCES

We have a tabular overview of funders' data policies, and a précis of each major UK funder’s policy, stating requirement for data plans, expectations on data sharing and available support.

We also maintain a table listing UK institutional research data policies. Email us at info@dcc.ac.uk if your institution is missing, or our info is out of date.
