<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy is issuing this RFC on behalf of the multi-agency Subcommittee on Open Science of the National Science and Technology Council’s Committee on Science.
The proposed set of desirable characteristics is part of the Subcommittee’s efforts to improve the consistency of information that Federal agencies provide to the scientific community about the long-term preservation of data resulting from Federally funded
research. The characteristics could apply to repositories operated by government or non-governmental entities.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Feedback will help the Subcommittee refine and develop a common set of characteristics that Federal research funding agencies can use to support ongoing efforts to improve the management and sharing of data
from Federally funded research. To ensure your comments will be considered, please submit your response before 11:59 ET on Friday, March 6, 2020.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
