New U.S. guidelines on sharing hot hominid fossils may arrive. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has set a 1 February deadline for paleoanthropologists to respond to a survey (www.nsf.gov/sbe/bcs/common/dataaccess/start.htm) on sharing fossil data, which has been the subject of much controversy (Science, 30 August 2002, p. 1464). Harvard University paleoanthropologist David Pilbeam and NSF officials will review the responses and then offer recommendations.

"We want to get a sense of what people think is reasonable and equitable," says Mark Weiss, NSF program director for physical anthropology, adding that the agency is not looking to create "the fossil police."
