This chart is a visualization based on a crowd-sourced Google Spreadsheet that consolidates guidelines from US funding agencies stemming from the Whitehouse Office of Science and Technology Policy's (OSTP) 2013 memo to expand public access to the results of federally funded research. The chart provides an overview of each agency's compliance with policies that are intended to "[open] government data resources" by working towards public access for all research outputs supported by federal funding. (Process Toward Opening Government Data Resources. The White House, 16 Aug. 2013. Web.)   The chart was built using the DCC model for providing an overview of funder data policies. More information can be found through the links below. This document will continue to ‘version’ as contributors update the evolving Google Spreadsheet "OSTP Responses".

Data management plans as expectations of the grant proposal process are still fairly novel, and the expected format and content of these plans is still evolving. The objective of this research is to gain a greater understanding of the expected content for data management plans submitted as part of grant proposals to federal funding agencies. This paper examines federal funding agencies’ data management plan guidelines in relation to the broad elements of data management identified by the Interagency Working Group on Digital Data: Description, Impact, Content & Format, Protection, Preservation, Access, and Transfer of Responsibility. Specifically, statements in agencies’ guidelines were categorized into the most applicable category (or categories). The representation of each category within each agency’s guidelines was addressed, and the statements falling in each category were analyzed. Some categories, including Access and Preservation, were represented in all or nearly all of the guidelines examined. Other categories — Impact and Transfer of Responsibility — were rarely addressed. The expectations for data management plans are evolving and will likely continue to evolve as more agencies require them.

Good to read this one for tone.

As expected, agency will link abstracts to papers on journals' websites
