Funder Public Access Requirements

This workshop will include a detailed look at funder public access requirements and some of the things libraries and librarians can do to help our researchers ensure compliance. We'll cover the status of both publications and data requirements, various systems in place to comply, and where things seem to be headed. STEM-related research funders have been more active in clarifying requirements and monitoring compliance so far, but these requirements are impacting researchers in all disciplines and non-STEM funders are getting more active in this area.

1. Funder Public Access Requirements
2. Session Goals For all staff • Familiarity with researcher funding process on this campus • Understand why funders would require public access • Know where to find information about requirements for a particular funder • Understand distinction between “public access” and “open access” • Familiarity with the types of requirements in place for publications and data • Know resources for referral As appropriate • Awareness of or expertise with requirements and process for a specific funder • Comfort with discussing or advising researchers on DMPs • Be able to discuss stakeholders, implications, and current state of federal public access mandates
3. Check-in How does your role relate to this topic? What experiences do you have with this topic so far? Is there anything specific you hope to get out of or contribute to this session?
4. Researcher Funding • PI Portal • UW-Madison funding data
5. Public Access We the People petition We believe in the power of the Internet to foster innovation, research, and education. Requiring the published results of taxpayer-funded research to be posted on the Internet in human and machine readable form would provide access to patients and caregivers, students and their teachers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and other taxpayers who paid for the research. Expanding access would speed the research process and increase the return on our investment in scientific research.
6. Funder Requirements Federal funders table – Columbia University Libraries Crowdsourced spreadsheet Private funders – Columbia University Libraries • Vary widely • Continue to evolve • Include distinct requirements for publications and data • Key details include: • Maximum embargo period • Repository requirement • Data Management Plan specifications • Compliance mechanism
7. Public Access vs Open Access • Funder mandates vs. free availability of material • Freely availably vs. licensed for re-use • Interaction with publishers and gold open access
8. Resources for referral Guide to NIH Public Access Compliance – Ebling Library Federal funders table – Columbia University Libraries Crowdsourced spreadsheet Private funders – Columbia University Libraries Data Sharing Requirements – SPARC with Johns Hopkins U Libraries Data Management Plans – UW-Madison RDS
9. Small Group Discussions • Get into the details of NIH process and compliance monitoring • Investigate the varied data management plan requirements and how to support their development • Compare DOT requirements with Department of Energy’s. Consider the implications of the differences between them. • Dig into some of the data-related requirements and get a sense of the complications. • Investigate further where federal action around funder requirements headed next. Consider some arguments for and against these directions. • What else?
