Why share? now

… “Federal agencies investing in research and development (more than $100 million in annual expenditures) must have clear and coordinated policies for increasing public access to research products.”

Feb 2013

1.  Maximize free public access 2.  Ensure researchers create data

management plans 3.  Allow costs for data preservation and

access in proposal budgets 4.  Ensure evaluation of data management

plan merits 5.  Ensure researchers comply with their data

management plans 6.  Promote data deposition into public

repositories 7.  Develop approaches for identification and

attribution of datasets 8.  Educate folks about data stewardship
