Access to Research Resources

9818600国家研究理事会（NRC）将成立一个委员会，召集一个研讨会，为各机构提供关于如何促进和促进获得研究资源的建议。 各联邦机构正在制定促进科研资源共享的政策。 这是为了回应越来越多的关注，即工业和大学正在追求保护这些资源所体现的知识产权，其方式正在减少传统上被视为非常开放的交流和共享。该委员会将组织一个研讨会，宣传联邦机构的各种政策。 它将为来自私营和公共研究界的个人提供一个机会，对这些政策作出反应，并讨论他们自己的观点和政策。 委员会将就以下问题提出建议：1.现有政策是否促进了研究资源的共享，并适当保护了这些研究资源所有者的权利？ 可以通过哪些方式修改这些规则，以进一步促进这些目标？2.这些政策的更大统一性是否会进一步促进其目标？ 这些政策应如何统一？这项研究将为联邦机构、营利性研究机构和非营利研究机构制定一套建议，重点是旨在促进生命科学研究资源共享的政策。

9818600The National Research Council (NRC) will form a committee to convene a workshop, which would generate recommendations for agencies on how to facilitate and promote access to research resources. Various federal agencies are developing policies to promote the sharing of scientific research resources. This is in response to growing concern that industry and universities are pursuing the protection of the intellectual property embodied in these resources in ways that are decreasing what has traditionally been viewed as a very open exchange and sharing.The committee will organize a workshop to air the various policies of federal agencies. It will provide an opportunity for individuals from the private and public research communities react to these policies and discuss their own perspectives and policies. The committee will make recommendations on the following questions:1. Do existing policies promote the sharing of research resources and appropriately protect the rights of the owners of these research resources? In what ways could they be modified to further promote these goals?2. Would greater uniformity in these policies further promote their goal? In what ways should these policies be made more uniform?The study would develop a set of recommendations for federal agencies, for-profit research institutions, and not-for-profit research institutions focusing on policies aimed at promoting the sharing of research resources in the life sciences.
