[Data sharing policies of clinical trials funders in France].

Aims: The aims of this survey were to evaluate the percentage of French clinical trial funders with a data sharing policy, to describe their data sharing policies and, more generally, the transparency of the research they fund.

Methods: The different funders of clinical trials in France have been identified from 3 lists of tenders for clinical research projects: the internal list of the University Hospital Center (CHU) of Rennes, the list of the Interregional Group for Clinical Research and Innovation (GIRCI EST), the list of the portal for calls for projects in health research. Funders were contacted, first by email and then by phone (at least two email and/or phone reminders) to respond to an online survey via Google form.
