INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, DATA SHARING, AND PROGRESS REPORTS
Intellectual Property and Data Sharing
(From: Plant Genome Research Program RFA for FY 2007,
Program Solicitation NSF 07-531, National Science Foundation)
Describe the
management of intellectual property rights related to the proposed
project, including plans for sharing data, information, and materials
resulting from the award. This plan must be specific about the nature of
the results to be shared, the timing and means of release, and
any constraints on release. The proposed plan must take into consideration
the following conditions where applicable:
- Sequences resulting from high-throughput large-scale sequencing
projects (low pass whole genome sequencing, BAC end sequencing,
ESTs, full-length cDNA sequencing, etc.) must be released according
to the currently accepted community standard (e.g. Bermuda/Ft.
Lauderdale agreement) to public databases (GenBank if applicable),
as soon as they are assembled and the quality checked against
a stated, pre-determined quality standard.
- Proposals that would develop genome-scale expression data
through approaches such as microarrays should meet community
standards for these data [for example, Minimum
Information About a Microarray Experiment (MIAME) standards. The
community databases (e.g. Gene Expression Omnibus) into which
the data would be deposited, in addition to any project database(s)
should be indicated.
- If the proposed project would produce community resources
(e.g. epidemiological data, genotyping data, biological materials,
software, etc.), these resources should be made available to
the research community in a timely fashion. The timing of release
should be stated clearly in the proposal, and how the resources
will be disseminated should be described. The resources produced
must be available to all segments of the scientific community,
including industry. A reasonable charge is permissible, but the
fee structure must be outlined clearly in the proposal. If accessibility
differs between industry and the academic community, the differences
must be clearly spelled out.

Progress Reports
Funded researchers may be required to submit project information,
including progress reports, publications, and links to project-related
sequence data, onto a password-protected website that is currently
under development.
