GloPID-R Roadmap for Data Sharing in PHEs | Page 24

EQUITABLE
DATA SHARING
PRINCIPLE
W
e acknowledge that all interested parties will have different levels of re-
sources available to them. Data that is shared should therefore be made
available to all interested parties during a PHE at no cost, or at a cost-recov-
ery level only. It is not acceptable to seek monetary profit from data sharing.
As such, whenever possible, sharing should be done free of charge. In cases
where it is necessary to apply charges associated with data sharing, these
charges should be kept to a minimum. This approach will help to ensure that
all parties, including data providers and data users, have equal access to the
data needed to collaborate and collectively deliver benefits to communities
affected by the health emergency.
T
he provision and use of data must be done in such a way that ensures fair
treatment of all parties involved and recognition of their contributions.
Further, any use of data should respect and acknowledge the provider and/or
origin of the data and terms under which that data can be accessed. This helps
to ensure that benefits resulting from data sharing flow back to the commu-
nities from which they were derived. Any analyses or new data generated
through reuse should be made publicly available in an open and timely manner.
