Grant Support
The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) released the Nelson Memo (PDF) in 2022 establishing policy "to promote improved public access to federally funded research results." The GW OSPO is here to support researchers as they navigate the complexities of delivering open and publicly accessible research outputs, including peer reviewed papers, data, and software. Please contact the us to receive the following grant support:
- Grant submissions:
- The OSPO will submit a letter of commitment with your submission noting that you will receive support ensuring the research outputs meet the requirements for being open and publicly accessible.
- The OSPO will help write sections of proposals that call for open practices.
- Grant execution:
- The OSPO will provide consultations and workshops to support researchers as they work to improve the quality, reproducability and accessibility of their research outputs in the following focus areas:
- open access: navigating the confusing publishing arena. We can help connect you with experts on copyright and please know you should never have to pay to share your papers openly.
- open data: support following FAIR guidelines and developing data management plans.
- open source software: researchers are generally not software engineers, so we are here to help you learn open software best practices and help give you information so you can decide what platforms, tools, and practices are right for your project.
- The OSPO will provide consultations and workshops to support researchers as they work to improve the quality, reproducability and accessibility of their research outputs in the following focus areas:
We hope these services will help GW compete even better for future grants and more importantly we are excited to be a part of maximizing the quality, reproducibility, and accessibility of science at GW.
