What is it?
The ASPR now requires that those receiving research grant funding from the ASPR take steps to make their publications and research data publicly accessible. Here's link to the policy:
http://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/planning/science/Pages/AccessPlan.aspx
When?
Publications: Effective October 2015.
Data: Effective October 2015.
How?
Publication manuscripts will be submitted to PubMed Central; the Data Management Plan (DMP) should include a repository where the data will be deposited. ASPR is working on establishing a specific commercial repository for ASPR research data.
Why?
This plan was developed in response to the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy’s (OSTP) February 22, 2013 memorandum, “Increasing Access to the Results of Federally Funded Scientific Research."
DATA
- Include a Data Management Plan (DMP) in the grant proposal, which names an open access repository where the data will be deposited by the researcher.
PUBLICATIONS (Journal articles, conference proceedings articles)
- Submit the Author Manuscript version of any research publications which result from AHRQ funding to PubMed Central. This should be done as soon as the article is accepted for publication. (The author manuscript version is the author's own copy of the peer reviewed manuscript, unformatted by the publisher).
If you have any questions about complying with a federal publication policy, please contact Fred Rascoe. If you have any questions about complying with a federal research data policy, please contact Susan Parham.
If you have any questions about your grant proposal, your award, your funding agency, or other logistical questions, please contact the Office of Sponsored Programs.
