HRA has partnered with the Open Research Community Accelerator (ORCA) to develop and distribute open science policy template language for HRA members. The documents linked here were developed by Erin McKiernan and Greg Tananbaum from ORCA. There are two template documents available:

• Full Open Science Policy Template and Guidelines: This document is designed to guide HRA members through creating an open science policy that aligns with international policy trends, and more specifically, with emerging U.S. federal agency (e.g. NIH) policies on article and data sharing. We provide brief explanations of the different recommendations, sample language, and links to policy examples from health funders where available.
• Short Open Science Policy Template: This document serves as a ready-to-go policy template for HRA members to draft or update their open science policy to align with international policy trends, and more specifically, with emerging U.S. federal agency (e.g. NIH) policies on article and data sharing.
