NSF Policy
“Investigators are expected to share with other researchers,
at no more than incremental cost and within a reasonable
time, the primary data, samples, physical collections and
other supporting materials created or gathered in the course
of work under NSF grants. Grantees are expected to
encourage and facilitate such sharing.”
