Why Share Data?

Data-sharing is an important way to increase the ability for kidney patients to receive key information, product and services to improve life and longevity as well as for researchers, scientists and policy-makers to analyze and translate data into meaningful reports and knowledge.

Sharing data discourages duplication of effort in data collection and encourages diverse thinking and collaboration, as others are able to use the data to answer questions  and provide real-life solutions that the initial data collectors may not have considered.

Sharing data also encourages accountability and transparency, enabling researchers to validate one another's findings. Finally, responsibly collected data from multiple sources can often be combined to allow for comparisons that cross national and organizational lines.
