Call for Expressions of Interest: Participate in Research on Costs of Public Access to Research Data
Association of Research Libraries
Advancing an equitable, enduring research information environment

The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Data Curation Network (DCN) are seeking five US-based academic libraries to participate in a research project focused on understanding the institutional costs of public access to research data. The research project will run from approximately September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2026. This research is funded by the US Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Leadership Grant LG-254930-OLS-23.
Applicants should complete the expression of interest form, as detailed below, by 11:59 p.m. Hawai?i standard time, Friday, May 31, 2024. We anticipate informing applicants of acceptance no later than June 28, 2024.
We invite expressions of interest from US-based libraries at academic institutions that receive federal funding for research. We strongly encourage applicants from a range of institutions that vary in size, research activity, and level of development of services and infrastructure for research data management and sharing, including historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), or other minority-serving institutions (MSIs). Even if your institution has just begun planning for research data management and sharing, we invite you to apply.
This research builds upon prior analyses of data sharing that reflect the varying levels of resources and organizational strategies in a wide range of institutions. This work is based on research done during the first phase of the Realities of Academic Data Sharing (RADS) Initiative. Research teams will conduct analyses at their institutions to address the following questions:
The new research cohort will receive support from the RADS team in launching this research, as well as cleaning and analyzing resultant data. All methods, protocols, and survey instruments will be provided by ARL. This will require IRB approval or exemption at your institution. Cohort members will also have the opportunity to engage with the DCN’s activities and consider the current state of research data services at their institutions. Members will be supported by a full-time staff member based at the DCN.

Information Session
On April 29, 2024, we held an information session on the details of joining the RADS project. Shawna Taylor (Association of Research Libraries), Mikala Narlock (Data Curation Network), and Jennifer Moore (Washington University in St. Louis) provided an overview of the research conducted so far, discussed the benefits of joining the project and DCN for two years, and outlined what is expected of joining institutions during the duration of the project.
