Research Councils now have their own data policies, as do a number of other UK and other organisations that fund research, e.g., the Wellcome Trust, British Academy and charities such as Cancer Research UK. Data management roles and responsibilities are also becoming increasingly explicit.

The Data Policies for individual research councils can be found on their websites:
