DISSEMINATE & IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS
Investigators submit their research outputs to a variety of high-quality outlets, from science meetings to peer-reviewed journals and open access publishing platforms. Following publication, good research data stewardship–via sharing in a repository–promotes collaboration, accelerates research, advances knowledge, and respects the contributions of study participants, the efforts of trialists, and the sources of public funding. The enhanced visibility and additional analyses enabled by data sharing (and recent requirements to share ALL results, regardless of outcome, via ClinicalTrials.gov), can accelerate solutions to healthcare challenges, improved patient outcomes, and evidence-informed public policy.

Data Sharing/Data Access
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued its Strategic Plan for Data Science in 2018, providing a roadmap for the NIH data infrastructure; a modernized data ecosystem; data management, analytics and tools; workforce development; and data stewardship and sustainability. This comprehensive plan for publicly-funded research data management has significant implications for all investigators within the biological sciences.

Data Transfer and Use Agreements from the National Academies
Disease-Specific Data and Research Repositories:
- CNTR’s National Trauma Research Repository (temporarily off-line)
- Open source research libraries like ResearchGate
- Research data clearinghouses such as clinicaltrials.gov
- National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) (Not study data, but data used for retrospective studies)
- FITBIR and other topic-specific repositories
- Defense Technical Information Center (CNTR-managed studies are automatically submitted to DTIC)
