[Okgrantsmanship] New Data Management Requirement for Proposals

[Mason, Linda]

Data Management Plans to Be Required

Beginning this fall, NSF will require that all proposals include a data
management plan in the form of a two-page supplementary document. The
research community will be informed of the specifics of the anticipated
changes and the agency's expectations for the data management plans.

The changes are designed to address trends and needs in the modern era
of data-driven science. "Science is becoming data-intensive and
collaborative," notes Ed Seidel, acting assistant director for NSF's
Mathematical and Physical Sciences directorate. "Researchers from
numerous disciplines need to work together to attack complex problems;
openly sharing data will pave the way for researchers to communicate and
collaborate more effectively." Read more about the new requirement here
