RDA/US 2016 CALL FOR ADOPTION PROJECTS
Funding Available to assist U.S. projects, groups and organizations to adopt RDA Recommendations

RDA/US is pleased to announce the availability of funding to assist U.S. projects, groups and organizations in adopting RDA Recommendations.

RDA Recommendations are specific technical approaches and high level policy guidelines developed by RDA Working Groups to assist data users in overcoming common data sharing roadblocks and ultimately, accelerate collaboration and innovation worldwide.

[http://files.ctctcdn.com/59a941ab401/89b7b011-bdbe-4732-b3f1-ae6dd17e0cee.png]To qualify to receive this funding from RDA/US, made possible through support from the MacArthur Foundation, a U.S. project, group and/or organization must
submit an application to adoption at us.rd-alliance.org<mailto:adoption at us.rd-alliance.org> by Friday, February 12, 2016.
Applications should propose:

  *   Usage of one or more of RDA Recommendations to solve an existing data sharing challenge AND
  *   Evaluation of its success in various domains, which may lead to the future development of new and/or improved RDA Recommendations

RDA Recommendations are detailed in the recently published report titled "Research Data Alliance Outputs<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00112EvmorWPu3J5flgeYeFJn217IqhOMUN-geaq0YhKD4_z_f9pOk9fW99UEGvI54v-WSJs1wNtE8m423nChXO3FGHd47i1m6WhBNmdQEXB1EJO_ZbyFAlPWBuBdO8AVmNU4HlTCNEDI2NIidEZa8nDRxfHhYj859XM571VN0QEFiwMIoKHPZr8hyBIfEKCjWqauO53WPeCbllP9ntifbCgfe9_1LeSe04GXQg3q1buqN-SwiBh46K2PyyGku60-j4P5SsjRzWLHFv_ELlJdWcUw==&c=0mtGoEfSNmKYNaqqrfr24YIMN7H9_AQeDLIKt3nvv-SyKLfrT3LN7w==&ch=fCUaN1M7qAPueF4F7T4El_jC068l0wuY8pDB0yZILewd3zfnmYzQxQ==>."

In 2015, RDA/US conducted an Adoption Seed Pilot, resulting in the successful adoption of several RDA Recommendations. For additional reference, final reports detailing two "worked examples" of adoption are provided below.

     *   Milestones describing what is to be accomplished during the adoption period
  *   Description of adopting organization(s) or project as well as the user community served
  *   2 page CVs of key personnel (not included in application page count)

  *   Accepted applicants/adopters will be expected to work with representatives of the respective RDA Working Group to ensure there is a complete understanding of the Recommendation.
  *   Adopters must attend RDA Plenary 8 in September 2016, to present a summary of their adoption results and activities (Reasonable travel funding will be provided).
  *
The adoption project must be completed no later than December 1, 2016, at which point a Final Report will be due. Staffing must be immediately allocable on the project start date to ensure substantial progress is made before RDA Plenary 8
  *
The adoption effort should add real demonstrated value to the user community for the system into which it is integrated.

Submissions will be evaluated on the potential for impact of the effort. Awards will be announced the week of February 22, 2016.

We encourage you to submit your proposal, as well as share this announcement with others you who feel may have an interest.
