As you may be aware, on October 1, 2010, the National Science Foundation announced a new policy
requiring a supplementary document for all grant proposals outlining the proposal's data
management plan (see http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/dmp.jsp). This requirement will take effect
on January 18, 2011. Individual programs and directorates within NSF may have additional
guidelines. Other major research funders can be
expected to implement similar policies, if they have not already done so.
The Research Data Management Service Group (RDMSG, http://data.research.cornell.edu/) is
conducting this survey to estimate the demand on campus services for data management, and to
identify potential gaps in existing services.
It should take you approximately 10 minutes to complete this survey and your participation is
voluntary. You will not be required to provide any identifying information unless you choose to.
Your answers will provide valuable information for use in the RDMSG's planning efforts. Some results
from this survey, such as general trends, may be used in external reports, but no identifying
information or direct quotes will be used without your consent.
This survey will be closed and no further submissions will be accepted after February 1st, 2011.
Information Sessions
You are also invited to attend an informational session on the National Science Foundation's (NSF)
new policy requiring a data management plan with all grant proposals. The new policy goes into
effect January 18, 2011.
Staff from RDMSG will review the new requirement, describe how researchers can obtain assistance
from the RDMSG to create data management plans, and answer questions.
Three sessions will be offered:
Thursday, January 13, 1:30-2:30pm, G01 Biotech
Tuesday, January 18, 9:00-10:00am, 102 Mann Library
Thursday, January 20, 12:30-1:30pm, 312 Hollister
