As of January 2013 researchers must:

• ensure that all research papers generated from CIHR funded projects are freely accessible through the Publisher’s website or an online repository within 12 months of publication;
• deposit bioinformatics, atomic, and molecular coordinate data into the appropriate public database (e.g. gene sequences deposited in GenBank) immediately upon publication of research results;
• retain original data sets for a minimum of five years (or longer if other policies apply)
