Horizon 2020
The Open Research Data Pilot  scheme encourages the open access and reuse of research data generated by Horizon 2020 projects. In 2017 the pilot was extended to cover all thematic areas within the Horizon 2020 programme, although projects do have the option to “opt out” if there are legitimate reasons why the data cannot be made open access. 

Horizon Europe
'Under Horizon Europe (Work programmes 2021 and onwards), it is not possible to opt out completely [from ERC open research data obligations], but exceptions to the requirement to provide open access to data and metadata are possible.' (Information for ERC grantees, p.4)

• What to keep?  Data needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications. Other data, including associated metadata, as specified in the data management plan. Other research outputs which may include software, algorithms, code, protocols, models, workflows, electronic notebooks.

• Where to archive?  NIH expects some data to be deposited in a particular data repository (or set of repositories) as specified in the funding policy or Funding Opportunity Announcement; if no repository is specified, data should be deposited in an appropriate data repository, with primary consideration given to discipline or data-type specific repositories.

See the NIHR position on the sharing of research data and policy on Open Access, which include a requirement that "data sharing statements must be included when publishing the findings of the research describing how to access the underpinning research data", and that data management plans "must be completed during the startup of the research".

In addition, the  data sharing policy  of the NIHR Journal Library requires all authors generating data derived from patient or public participation to submit a data access statement when publishing their final report. 

• What to keep?  Published data and other data with potential long term demand if feasible. 
• When to archive and/or share?  Within 6 months of publication.

UK Research and Innovation  (formerly the Research Councils UK) is a non-departmental Government body which manages a partnership between seven individual UK funding councils responsible for funding in the arts, humanities, science and engineering.

The seven research councils are:

 Arts and Humanities Research Council  (AHRC)

Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council  (BBSRC)

Engineering and Physical Science Research Council  (EPSRC)

Economic and Social Research Council  (ESRC)

Medical Research Council  (MRC)

Natural Environment Research Council  (NERC)

 Science and Technology Facilities Council  (STFC)

• What to keep?  Data, software and other research materials which support published research and/or have clear value to the wider research community. See the link to the policy below for further details. 
• When to archive and/or share?  Data to be made available on publication. 
• Where to archive?  In a recognised repository where these exist for particular types of data.
