[Join This Working Group]
This working group is formed to continue the discussions of the 2011 annual NUFO meeting breakout session on Facilitating Cross Facility Access: A Model of Cross Facility Proposal Review, Access and Tracking.
Current concerns include multiple facility access and data sharing, user agreements, proprietary vs. non-proprietary proposals, reviewing mixed facility proposals, data security, risk assessment, instrument tracking, and scheduling.
Future needs include data integration of users, instruments, costs and schedules, establishing common user data definitions and counting of users between cooperating facilities, enabling multiple facility access to user/proposal/instrument data, commonality of user agreements, changing the focus from databases to data management systems, integrating audit able full cost recovery data acquisition and display, and responding to calls to provide open access to all non-proprietary results of tax-payer funded research.
