Directorate for Biological Sciences Directorate for Computer &Information Science &Engineering Directorate for Education &Human Resources Directorate for Engineering Directorate for Geosciences Directorate for Mathematical &Physical Sciences Directorate for Social, Behavioral &Economic Sciences Office of the Director (includes Office of Cyberinfrastructure, Polar Programs, and others) Block 0 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 By clicking the next button below, you voluntarily agree to participate in this online survey.

186 · Representative Documents: Data Retention Policies UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN – MADISON Policy on Data Stewardship, Access, and Retention http://www.grad.wisc.edu/research/policyrp/rpac/documents/PolicyDataStewardship.pdf It will also be the responsibility of the Principal Investigator to follow the requirements of any sponsored agreements with regard to access to Data. Where necessary to assure needed and appropriate access, the Principal Investigator, upon request of the university, must provide the university with research Data. Under extraordinary circumstances, such as research misconduct, the university will take all necessary steps to ensure integrity of the Data in a manner specified by the UW Policy for Misconduct in Scholarly Research (FP&P II-314). None of these provisions is intended to supersede the Principal Investigator's right to keep Data proprietary until the results of the research have been published and the aims of the research have been fulfilled. 4.4 Transfer in the Event a Researcher Leaves UW-Madison: When individuals involved in research projects at UW-Madison leave the University or move to a different research group or position at UW-Madison, they may, with PI approval, take copies of research Data that they have generated or to which they have made a substantial contribution for projects on which they have worked. Original Data, however, must be retained at UW-Madison by the Principal Investigator. If a Principal Investigator leaves UW-Madison, and a project is to be moved to another institution, the Data may be transferred with the approval of the Vice Chancellor for Research, and with written agreement from the PI's new institution that guarantees: 1) its acceptance of custodial responsibilities for the Data, and 2) UW-Madison access to the Data, should that become necessary. 5.0 Roles and Responsibilities: The Principal Investigator is responsible for the stewardship and retention of research Data as well as for determinations concerning access to and appropriate use of Data. Other Research Contributors are responsible to cooperate with the PI in carrying out the requirements of this policy. The dean(s) of the school(s)/college(s) in which the PI is appointed may hear appeals concerning issues of access to Data and determine who shall have access. The Vice Chancellor for Research may hear appeals to a dean's determination concerning access to Data and make a final determination. The Vice Chancellor for Research may determine, consistent with campus policy, who is eligible to serve as a Principal Investigator. 6.0 Related Documents/Resources: University of Wisconsin-Madison Research Data Services http://researchdata.wisc.edu/ University of Wisconsin-Madison Intellectual Property Policy and Procedures (www.grad.wisc.edu/research/ip/policies.html)
