As part of our project, “Investigating ‘reasonable costsʼ to achieve public access to federally funded research and scientific dataˮ, supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 2330827, Invest in Open Infrastructure investigated how institutions were responding to new public access policies associated with United States federal funding. This entry contains two items: "Preparing for Public Access: Mapping Institutional Workflows for Sponsored Research Success" and "Example Workflows for Federal Funding Administration at US Institutions". "Preparing for Public Access" is a guide to the project and methodology and a summary of the key findings. The "Example Workflows" are a supplemental file containing the 23 publicly available workflows gathered through surveys and interviews. This publication was created as part of the project, “Investigating ‘reasonable costsʼ to achieve public access to federally funded research and scientific dataˮ, supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 2330827.
