Upcoming Workshops
Join us for a virtual informational session about federal funding agency policy changes going into effect in 2025 that may impact your research.
In Research Impacts of New Federal Public Access Policies, we will cover the expanded sharing requirements for outputs of federally funded research including publications, data, and software. As we go through the session we will describe where researchers can find more information about specific policies and will highlight the resources that are available at UT Austin to assist with compliance. We will also discuss the commonalities and differences among individual research funding agency plans, and we'll be able to answer questions you have about specific funders.
