# **How Do I Share My Research Data?**
## **Data Sharing**
There are many benefits to sharing research data. It increases academic impact, allows for use and reuse of data by researchers and others, enables collaboration, and is encouraged by funding agencies.
## **Resources for How to Share Data**
The ability to share and make data discoverable is an important factor when choosing long-term data storage options. We encourage you to view the [Where Can I Store My Data?](https://cris.utoronto.ca/dri_portal/store-data) page to determine which storage option may best enable sharing.
### [**Introduction to Borealis (Videos)**](https://www.youtube.com/@BorealisData/videos)
Dataverse is now Borealis, the Canadian Dataverse Repository. Borealis is a repository for research data. These webinars provide an introduction to Borealis and an overview of how to log on, add a dataset, facilitate access and reuse of data, and give collaborators permission to edit datasets.
### [NIH Overview of Data Sharing Approaches](https://sharing.nih.gov/data-management-and-sharing-policy/sharing-scientific-data/data-sharing-approaches)
This resource provides examples of data sharing approaches that are commonly used in the health and life sciences.
### [Research & Innovation Agreements](https://research.utoronto.ca/research-innovation-agreements/research-innovation-agreements)
When sharing data or engaging in other research activities with external partners or collaborators, an agreement or contract is often necessary. Researchers are encouraged to reach out to the appropriate Vice-President Research and Innovation unit to determine if a non-funded agreement such as a data transfer agreement is required to support your data sharing goals.
## **Funding Agency Requirements**
It is important to address funder requirements when considering if, and how, to share your data. Some example policies are noted below, however, researchers should check with their sponsor to ensure they have the most up-to-date and relevant requirements.
## **US and International Sponsor Requirement**
**[SPARC Data Share Requirements Database](http://datasharing.sparcopen.org/)**\
This tool catalogues the current US federal funder research data sharing policies.
**[Sherpa Juliet](https://beta.sherpa.ac.uk/)\**Sherpa Juliet is a searchable database and single focal point of up-to-date information concerning UK funding policies and their requirements on open access, publication, and data archiving.
**[National Institutes of Health (NIH) – Resources and Policies for Data Sharing](https://sharing.nih.gov/)**\
The NIH has recently established a new website to support data sharing. If you plan to apply to or hold NIH funds you can explore resources and sharing policies related to scientific data, genomic data, research tools, model organisms, clinical trials, and research publications.
