University College London and YODA Project Joint Meeting on Facilitating Data Access to Non-Industry Funded Research

University College London (UCL) and the Yale University Open Data Access (YODA) Project brought together clinical researchers, research funders, patient advocates, and other stakeholders to discuss the challenges of sharing clinical trial data from non-industry funded research.

The first half of the day included a series of presentations reviewing current policies and principles for data sharing from both industry and non-industry funded studies. These served as a prelude to a broader discussion on the need to enhance data sharing efforts among academically-based investigators and a possible collaboration between UCL and the YODA Project.

Several clinical trials were identified as potential “test-cases” for sharing of non-industry funded research. Meeting participants are working to identify next steps for implementing a pilot project for sharing data from non-industry funded studies.
