| Funder | Summary | Link | Data Deposit Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| NHMRC Principles for accessing and using publicly funded data for health research | "NHMRC acknowledges the importance of making research data publicly accessible and therefore strongly encourages researchers to consider the reuse value of their data and to take reasonable steps to share research data and associated metadata arising from NHMRC supported research." | NHMRC Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research 2018 National Health and Medical Research Council Open Access Policy Principles for accessing and using publicly funded data for health research | Recommended |
| ARC Discovery Grant requirements | "Researchers and institutions have an obligation to care for and maintain research data in accordance with the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (2007). The ARC considers data management planning an important part of the responsible conduct of research and strongly encourages the depositing of data arising from a Project in an appropriate publicly accessible subject and/or institutional repository." Researchers are now required as part of the application process for National Competitive Grants Program funding to outline how they plan to manage research data arising from ARC-funded research. Outline plans for the management of data produced as a result of the proposed research, including but not limited to storage, access and re-use arrangements. The Final Report must outline how data arising from the Project have been made publicly accessible where appropriate. | See ANDS Guide ARC – Guide to filling in the data management section | Recommended |
| Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation | Data Underlying Published Research Results Will Be Accessible and Open Immediately. The foundation will require that data underlying the published research results be immediately accessible and open. The CSIRO DAP is a recognised institutional repository. | Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Open Access Policy | Mandated |
| Wellcome Trust | We expect our researchers to maximise the availability of research data, software and materials with as few restrictions as possible. As a minimum, the data underpinning research papers should be made available to other researchers at the time of publication, as well as any original software that is required to view datasets or to replicate analyses. Where research data relates to public health emergencies, researchers must share quality-assured interim and final data as rapidly and widely as possible, and in advance of journal publication. | Policy on data, software and materials management and sharing | Mandated |
