Collaborative research is to be encouraged in the setting of public health emergencies. Regrettably, this did not always occur during the Ebola epidemic or in other high-profile events such as the 2009 pandemic or MERS; worse yet are instances where scientists in affected countries are not appropriately *credited for access to* data and specimens.
I am not sure what is meant by this expression.
Thank you for your help!

while "credential" is used as a verb in US English I personally don't like it at all and prefer "accredit" or give/grant accreditation/credentials
The reason I think it probably means this is similar to what Andres says above: access to this sort of data could be potentially very dangerous and only well-known, reputable scientists would be given the accreditation to access these specimens.
Personally, I can't think of any other possible meaning as I don't think it means "credit" (give credit or recognition) in the circumstances or context

They're not provided access / credentials for access to data and specimens.
Similar words, simple error, I assume.

: The scientists aren't qualified for access because of the danger associated with high biosafety levels. In the wrong hands, an infectious disease could be used as a biological weapon, as in the case of the Rajneeshees' fraudulent hospital in the '80s.
