This is a wonderful and very forward thinking policy, and you are fortunate
to have the resources to fund it, Winifried.   I advise students and
faculty to always design a way to retain original data into their
proposals, and am continually asked how to gain resources to do so.  This
and data sharing are the primary reasons for some of our federal grant
requirements for a data plan to be included with grant submission.  Just
having the conversation to consider it is important!!
