Hi everyone,

I have been asked a question, and try as I might, I can't find the
answer.  I'm hoping that my wise colleagues on this list can help.  The
question is this:  How long must a researcher or institution retain
data, slides, samples, etc., from NIH funded research after the funding
for the project ends?  I've asked several people and gotten several
different answers.  I can't find anything on the NIH website or on any
other government sites.

Can anyone help and point me to a reference from NIH or the government
that I can quote to our researchers?

Thanks in advance for your wise counsel.

Carole
