  1. The Case for Data Management: Agency Requirements Version 1.0 Review Date • Ruth Duerr • National Snow and Ice Data Center

  2. Overview • Most agencies have or are developing data management policies or guidelines • As an investigator • You may need to discuss data management in your proposals in order to obtain funding • You may need to follow agency mandates in regards to managing or archiving the data you generate in order to retain funded status

  3. Agencies requiring data management discussion in proposals • NSF requires a two page data management plan submitted with all proposals • Many NASA Earth Science solicitations require a discussion of data management in submitted proposals • NOAA requires that NOAA grantees include a Data Sharing Plan as part of their project narrative • Proposals to the USGS National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center or any of the Department of the Interiors Climate Science Centers require a Proposal Data Management Plan

  4. Agencies with data management mandates • Many NSF directorates and even specific solicitations have detailed requirements for what data should be archived and where the data should go • All NASA Earth Science science missions, projects, and grants and cooperative agreements require a data management plan • NOAA is in the process of developing a comprehensive suite of data management related procedural directives covering all NOAA-related data activities • USGS NCCWSC and DOI CSC funded projects must develop and maintain a Research Data Management Plan
