The panel discusses the experiences of experts in data management plans (DMPs), highlighting interactions between funding agencies, proposal reviewers, faculty, and librarians regarding DMP requirements and compliance with public access policies. Panelists from various institutions, including the Department of Energy and the NSF, will provide insights into the DMP reviewing process, consulting services, and the challenges faced in implementing these plans. Attendees are encouraged to engage in discussions about the current state and emerging roles of DMP services.
RDAP 16: DMPs and Public Access: Agency and Data Service Experiences
- 1. Panel5: DMPs and Public Access:Agency and Data Service experiences. Moderator: Margaret Henderson with Cynthia Hudson-Vitale and Natsuko Nichols Abstract: This panel brings a group of experts in data management to share their own experience with Data Management Plan (DMP) reviewing, assisting to write a DMP,consulting to revise returned DMPs,post- award monitoring of approved plans, and plans for complying with data public access policies. Library services have quickly developed in support of funding agency requirements for data management, and yet little interaction between funding agencies, proposal reviewers,faculty, and librarians has taken place on a community level. To address this gap, this panel will provide a variety of DMP perspectives - from funder’s to data service librarians. RDAP attendees will be encouraged to engage in the discussion with panelists to explore the current state and emerging role of DMP reviewing process and consulting services. Panelists: Laura J. Biven, PhD, Senior Science and Technology Advisor, Office of the Deputy Director for Science Programs, Office of Science, US Department of Energy, attendance via Skype Laura Biven serves as Senior Science and Technology Advisor in the Office of Science at the Department of Energy. Her responsibilities include advising the Deputy Director on science program management and policy issues, and providing coordination and analysis of budget, scientific, technical, programmatic, and operational issues regarding the SC Program Offices and national laboratories. Laura serves as point of contact for issues related to research data policy. From 2005 to 2008 she was AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow, serving first as Commodity Import Analyst at the US Department of Agriculture and then as Science and Technology Analyst at the US Department of State. She has also served as member of the mathematics faculty at Bard High School Early College in New York City; postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Complex Physics in Dresden, Germany; and visiting scientist to the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy.

Laura has received a number of awards for teaching and the public dissemination of science including three AAAS/Subaru Lesson Writing contests and first prize in an essay competition organized by the International Congress on Mathematical Physics 2000 for the essay: “Weak-Wave Turbulence: A Tragic Super-hero of Turbulence Theory.” Laura will provide funding agency perspectives on the DMP requirements of the Department of Energy, Office of Science. Andi Ogier, Associate Director, Data Services,Virginia Tech Andi Ogier is the Associate Director in the University Libraries at Virginia Tech, where she leads the Data Services Unit and serves as the PI for VTArtWorks,an IMLS-funded community arts initiative. At work she spends most of her days in meetings and trying to figure out how to have fewer meetings. In her spare time she chases after a two-year-old and a dog.
- 2. Andi will be going over the state of DMP Consulting at Virginia Tech, and then looking at some responses from federalagencies that were returned to the researcher along with requests for DMP revisions. I'm still trying to track down the number of revision requests received by researchers at VT -- OSP is playing hard to get. :) Jonathan Petters,PhD,Data Consultant, Johns Hopkins University Jonathan Petters is a Data Management Consultat in Johns Hopkins Data Management Services. Prior to joining the Data Management Services group, Jon was a AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow in the Department of Energy’s Office of Science where he investigated data management policies and needs within the physical sciences. He received a PhD. in Meteorology from the Pennsylvania State University and has researched aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions in various cloud systems. He continues to increase his weather control powers but can only take credit for beautiful and fair weather days at this time. Jon will talk about his experiences with the data management planning consulting service at Johns Hopkins, what research data services personnel can do to improve research data management planning and ways they might help with potential funder research data initiatives. Anne Maglia, Program Officer,Science Advisor for BIO Centers,Division of Biological Infrastructure, NSF (via Skype) Anne Maglia (“Mag-lee-ah”) is a Science Advisor in the Division of Biological Infrastructure at the National Science Foundation. Her current job is to oversee the management of BIO’s portfolio of large investments in Centers and Cooperative Agreements. She has been at NSF for 6 years,and previously managed BIO’s programs in biological informatics and collections digitization. Her parents and extended family continue to call her Banana,and thus, are no longer allowed to call her office. Topics covered: - NSF’s data management and access policy - Program director’s perspective on developing strong data management plans to accompany NSF proposals Lisa Federer,Research Data Informationist, NIH Library Lisa Federer is the Research Data Informationist at the NIH Library, where she leads the Data Services Team and provides a variety of data-related services for the intramural research community at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD. She is also the editor of the forthcoming Medical Library Association Guide to Data Management for Librarians. When she’s not talking incessantly about data, she can be found talking incessantly about her dog, Ophelia. Lisa’s presentation will provide an overview of NIH policies, current and proposed, including an update on the NIH response to the 2013 OSTP memo regarding public access to federally funded research.
