Genomic research is critical toGenomic Data Sharing - Decorative Image discovering new treatments for cancer. Many forms of cancer are caused by a genetic driver or a collection of variants that inhibit cell death or promote tumor growth. As such, NCI-funded research has generated large volumes of human and non-human genomic data that have been made available for secondary use in accordance with the NIH Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy. Investigators submitting their genomic research data to an NIH or NCI repository should review the following resources for information on the documents and processes.
