The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and
the Inter-university Consortium
for Political and Social Research at
U-M’s Institute for Social Research
are joining forces to encourage open
access to research data and closer
links between publications and the
data on which they are based.
A grant from the foundation will
allow ICPSR to work with editors of
peer-reviewed social science journals,
leaders of data repositories and
research funding agencies to foster new
standards in research transparency,
data citation and sustainable funding
models for open access to data.
