provided in the PHS 398 Application Guide with the following modifications:
� Generally, Resource Sharing Plans (Data Sharing Plan, Sharing Model Organisms if
applicable, and Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) are expected in this
application. Since it is expected that the Network Group Integrated Translational
Science Center will follow the Resource Sharing Plans of the associated Network Group
Operations Center(s) it works with, the proposed Network Group Integrated
Translational Science Center should indicate in its application that it is bound by these
plans (i.e., the resource sharing plans that may have been submitted by the associated
Network Group Operations Centers which the applicant will work with). An example for
a Data Sharing Plan for Network Group Operations Centers and associated Network
Group Statistics and Data Management Centers for the NCTN Program is provided in

The Data Sharing Plan and other resource plans (or rationale for not providing sharing
certain resources) should be provided in the research application; however, prior to funding
of an award, all resource sharing plans/policies will also need to be reviewed and approved
by NCI/DCTD program staff prior to funding any award in order to ensure that the
plans/policies are in compliance with NCI/NIH regulations and the Terms of the Award for
the applicable key component of the NCTN Program.
