Data Management Support for NSF Arctic Proposals

Data management plan template from Advanced Cooperative Arctic Data and Information Service (ACADIS)

All National Science Foundation (NSF) proposals must include a supplementary 'Data Management Plan' of no more than two pages,describing how the proposal will conform to NSF policy on dissemination and sharing of research results. Data management for the NSF Office of Polar Programs Arctic Sciences (ARC) section is being handled through the NSF-funded AdvancedCooperative Arctic Data and Information Service (ACADIS). This includesdata from projects funded under the Arctic Observing Network (AON), Arctic System Sciences (ARCSS), Arctic Natural Sciences (ANS), and the Arctic Social Sciences Program (ASSP). ACADIS, a joint effort of the National Snow and Ice Data Center, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, builds from the CADIS system that has served the AON community.ACADIS has created a data management plan template to assist investigators planning to submit a proposal to the 2012 general call for ARC (proposal deadline 18 October 2012). The template can be downloaded from the ACADIS site, at: http://www.aoncadis.org/.
