<p style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">ICPSR is pleased to announce a Challenge Grants program funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Through this program, ICPSR will fund innovative projects to promote open access to data, support research transparency, improve data citation, and more generally build good practice in data management and stewardship. Possible topics include but are not limited to training for researchers in data management, editorial workflows that integrate data management and access, and research on data replication practices. ICPSR expects to award three to five grants of up to $20,000 each. Proposals are due on April 15, 2013.</p>
