<h1>Member Support Available for Travel to Plenary 15 in Melbourne </h1>
<div class="m_8817122307457008412clearfix"><div><div><p>Greetings RDA-US Members,</p>
<p>I am pleased to inform you about a recent development within RDA-US. Earlier this month, our office received approval from the National Science Foundation for our grant submission titled “Research Data Alliance Ideate Incubator (RDA-I2): Conceptualizing an Interdisciplinary Research Framework for Strengthening Community Impact and Advancing an Innovation Platform.” The objectives of the proposal are to further the work of the US office by:</p>
<ul>
<li>Implementing a pilot facilitation training program for RDA group chairs to share strategies and tactics for building better connections across groups, and</li>
<li>Developing education and training initiatives to increase the awareness and understanding of RDA outputs to promote broader adoption by those outside the RDA community.</li>
</ul>
<p>To support these important endeavors, the award will also provide some funding for member travel to various meetings, including <strong><a href="https://www.rd-alliance.org/track/click/7791c160fd3829/7155cbe5c0241" target="_blank">Plenary 15 (P15) in March in Melbourne, Australia</a></strong>. If you are an active US member of an RDA working and/or interest group AND interested in receiving funding from the US office for travel to P15 (which would cover air, lodging and meals), we ask that you submit a one-page essay at <strong><a href="https://www.rd-alliance.org/track/click/315dfe6d003830/7155cbe5c0241" target="_blank">https://www.rd-alliance.org/rda-us-travel-support-application</a></strong> by <strong>February 10, 2020</strong>, detailing your anticipated level of involvement and ideas on how you can support these objectives.</p>
<p>Essays will be reviewed and those conveying the highest potential impact on the meeting and RDA community will be selected for funding. <strong>Notifications of acceptance will be sent out no later than February 14, 2020</strong>.</p>
<p>Members selected for funding will also be expected to submit a two-page report after the meeting, summarizing their experience and recommendations for improvement and further collaboration within the community as it pertains to group activities and adoption of outputs.</p>
<p>As always, thank you for your involvement with RDA and we look forward to your continued engagement.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Leslie McIntosh, PhD<br>
Executive Director<br>
Research Data Alliance (US)<br>
