Deadline Extended: Training for Federal Funding Public Access Compliance

DEADLINE EXTENDED - If you are interested in participating, please complete an application by May 24, 2024: https://fsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4OcuVu2p1PWVlfE 

We invite you to participate in a summer training program to prepare researchers for the upcoming implementation of the U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy requirement for public access to data and publications for all federal funders in 2025.

• This policy expands on policies already in effect for the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) since 2013.
• The new policy will include more research outputs and more federal agencies including the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
• The training utilizes research support partners and resources at FSU. It aims to empower a cohort of researchers to gain hands-on assistance with research compliance strategies for these new public access and data-sharing policies. 

The training will run virtually from June 3 - July 26, 2024. 

The full schedule, training module topics, and answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) are available at https://openscholars.create.fsu.edu/federal-public-access-training/  

We ask participants to commit two team members to regularly attend the lecture and “lab” (hands-on workshop) weekly, 90 minutes each on Mondays and Fridays. We ask for one team member who will be a part of decision-making (e.g. faculty or staff who may write a grant, manage a lab, or provide services at a center) and a team member who will perform work related to research compliance (e.g., a graduate student who may prepare data in a format suitable for compliance with data sharing policies or sharing).

NOTE: This is NOT a mandatory training. It is an offering to support researchers who find new federal policy changes relevant to their research projects and grant proposals. Participants are NOT required to submit a grant proposal in order to participate in the training.
