In 2003, an accurate and complete human genome sequence was finished two years ahead of schedule and at a cost less than the original estimated budget.
Policies and Guidance
This page provides an overview of Resource Sharing Plans, a required document in most NIH funding applications. Most applicants for NIH funding must provide a Resource Sharing Plan (RSP) documenting plans for sharing resources that result from their federally funded work. NIH Policies that govern the sharing of resources include the NIH Model Organism Sharing Policy and the NIH Research Tools Policy.
