Sharing data involves the following actions, to be completed in order:
1. Become a certified Synapse user
To do this, you must:
Link your ORCID account to your profile (This is optional, but recommended)
2. Complete a data sharing plan (DSP)
The goal of this is to support the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and allows you to describe the data being shared and how/when they will be released.
...
Then, once you have the completed form saved as a file on your computer (either as a Word or PDF file), you’ll upload the completed form as part of the project detail intake form (see next step).
3. Complete the project detail intake form
This is designed to collect the information needed to set up a Synapse project and list is as a study on the NF Data Portal. It’s a short form that will ask you for simple details like the project title and abstract, lead investigators, who should have access to the project, and more.

4. Gain approval for your project
Once we receive your information, we’ll review your submission.
If approved, we’ll work with you to create a project in Synapse and deposit your data.
5. Upload your data
Once your project is created in Synapse, you’re ready to upload your project’s data. We have a separate page on this site with instructions to do so, which you can find here.
6. Annotate your data
This involves labeling your files with metadata so users can easily find and filter for the data they need when exploring data on the portal. We have a separate page on this site with more information and instructions on adding annotations, which you can find here.
7. Review your project
Once your data are ready for public release, you’ll want to review your project to make sure it’s ready to go! Most importantly, make sure you have the appropriate permission and authority to share the data. Additionally, check that your data are properly annotated with metadata and that all associated details are correct.
