Conference and National Summits to Develop a Guide to Accelerating Public Access to Research Data at Academic Institutions

美国大学协会（AAU）和公立和赠地大学协会（APLU）建议在整个学术研究界扩大和深化对公共访问问题的认识和理解。会议将利用开放科学界“早期采用者”机构和主要利益相关者团体的经验；组织者将制定并广泛传播一份指南，以协助各机构在制定和实施公共获取政策和做法方面进行研究。实现这些目标的步骤是：1)制定一个框架和战略计划，以指导加速公众获取研究数据所需的长期参与；2)召集先前nsf资助的公共访问研讨会参与者召开会议，审查计划并准备讨论共享解决方案；3)召开第二次会议，将早期采用者与参与度较低的机构和利益攸关方（如资助者、科学和专业协会、出版商）聚集在一起，以增进对公众获取的理解，并为《加速学术机构公众获取研究数据指南》编写内容；4)建立由机构和利益相关者组成的工作组，探讨尚未解决的挑战；5)举行后续活动，将工作组的建议纳入最终指南；6)通过战略教育活动向高等教育研究界传播《指南》，以达到关键的领导群体。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) propose to broaden and deepen awareness and understanding of public access issues across the academic research community. The conference will capitalize on the experiences of "early adopter" institutions and leading stakeholder groups in the open science community; the organizers will develop and broadly disseminate a Guide to assist institutions conducting research in creating and implementing public access policies and practices. The steps to achieving the objectives are through 1) developing a framework and strategic plan to guide the long-term engagement necessary to accelerate public access to research data; 2) convening a conference of the prior NSF-funded public access workshop participants to review the plan and prepare for discussions on shared solutions; 3) convening a second conference that brings together early adopters with less engaged institutions and stakeholders (e.g., funders, scientific and professional societies, publishers) to increase understanding of public access and develop content for a Guide to accelerating public access to research data at academic institutions; 4) creating working groups of institutions and stakeholders to explore unresolved challenges; 5) holding a follow-up event to incorporate the working group recommendations into a final Guide; and 6) disseminating the Guide to the higher education research community through a strategic education campaign to reach key leadership communities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
