How do I obtain Institutional Certification for submission of genomic data to an NIH designated data repository?
You may be required to submit genomic data to an NIH-designated data repository as a condition of your federal award. In this case, the Institutional Official or designee must certify that your genomic data sharing plan is acceptable. The IRB Office verifies for the Institutional Official or designee that your genomic data sharing plan meets the criteria for submission to an NIH-designated data repository. Contact the IRB Office for instructions on how to submit that verification plan. The Institutional Official or designee will communicate certification of approval to you after the verification process is complete.
