Output management & sharing plan

Open access to research outputs

The foundation’s general policy is that Data and Intellectual Property must be managed and disseminated in a manner that leads to the greatest impact. Accordingly, in most cases, Data and Intellectual Property should be owned by the grantee and made available at no cost or, when justified, at a reasonable cost.

What if we required open access?
