Hi RDAP,

When a project is funded by a federal grant, how much raw data are
researchers expected to make accessible? Must they truly make everything
and anything publicly available, or are brief extracts and/or summary
statistics acceptable (in other words, what is the minimum sharing
requirement)? What practices have you noticed among your
colleagues/constituents?

I am specifically looking at NSF grants, for which guidelines are
(intentionally?) vague. I am working with a faculty member who is hesitant
to share all of their data, as they want to maintain a competitive edge.

Thanks for your input,
Kate
