Appendix A.6 Research Data Management Plan (RDMP) BAA 24-02

The Offeror must address each of the elements noted below.

The RDMP shall comply with the requirements stated in Section 4 of the BAA. In doing so, it will support the objectives of the ODNI Public Access Plan at https://www.iarpa.gov/index.php/working-with-iarpa/public-access-to-iarpa-research

1. Sponsoring IARPA Program (required):

2. Offeror (i.e., lead organization responding to BAA) (required):

3. Offeror point of contact (required):

The point of contact is the proposed principal investigator (PI) or his/her Designee.

a. Name and Position:

b. Organization:

c. Email:

d. Phone:

4. Research data types (required):

Provide a brief, high-level description of the types of data to be collected or produced in the course of the project.

5. Standards for research data and metadata content and format (required):

Use standards reflecting the best practices of the relevant scientific discipline and research community whenever possible.

6. Plans for making the research data that underlie the results in peer-reviewed journal articles and conference papers digitally accessible to the public at the time of publication/conference or within a reasonable time thereafter (required):

The requirement could be met by including the data as supplementary information to a peer reviewed journal article or conference paper or by depositing the data in suitable repositories available to the public.

a. Anticipated method(s) of making research data publicly accessible:

___ Provide dataset(s) to publisher as supplementary information (if publishers allow public access) ___ Deposit dataset(s) in Data Repository ___ Other (specify)_________________________

b. Proposed research data repository or repositories (for dataset(s) not provided as supplementary information):

Suitable repositories could be discipline-specific repositories, general purpose research data repositories, or institutional repositories, as long as they are publicly accessible.

c. Retention period, at least three years after publication of associated research results:

State the minimum length of time the data will remain publicly accessible.

d. Submittal of metadata to IARPA:

Offerors are required to make datasets underlying the results published in peer-reviewed journal or conferences digitally accessible to the public to the extent feasible. Here, the Proposer should state a commitment to submit metadata on such datasets to IARPA in a timely manner. Note: This does not supersede any requirements for deliverable data, as the award document may include metadata as a deliverable item.

7. Policies and provisions for sharing and preservation (as applicable):

a. Policies and provisions for appropriate protection of privacy, confidentiality, security, and intellectual property:

b. Descriptions of tools, including software, which may be needed to access and interpret the data:

c. Policies and provisions for re-use, re-distribution, and production of derivative works:

8. Justification for not sharing and/or preserving data underlying the results of peer-reviewed publications (as applicable):

If, for legitimate reasons, the data cannot be shared and preserved, the plan must include a justification detailing such reasons. Potential reasons may include privacy, confidentiality, security, IP rights considerations; size of data sets; cost of sharing and preservation; time required to prepare the dataset(s) for sharing and preservation.
