Enhanced data sharing in Public Health Emergencies (PHEs) can result in significant public health benefit. The GloPID-R funders have developed Data Sharing Principles in order to underpin this process for future PHEs. This review surveyed GloPID-R funders to determine and analyze their current policies and practice and future plans in support of enhanced data sharing in PHEs. Examples of best practice are highlighted as well as barriers and bottlenecks to this endeavor. The following recommendations are given for GloPID-R funders to work together on alongside external partners, in order to support the GloPID-R Data Sharing Principles and Statements with aligned funder policies.
