As science advances and research evolves to address environmental health challenges, there is a growing demand to share scientific data openly. In response to this need, the National Institutes of Health released a new Policy for Data Management and Sharing, which outlines how sharing data is a fundamental component of scientific discovery. The policy encourages researchers to follow the FAIR principles – making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable – to guide data management and sharing. Data sharing is also a principal component of the 2018-2023 NIEHS strategic plan, which encourages researchers to translate scientific data into knowledge that will inform actions to improve public health.
