Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group
Research Funders and Stakeholders on Open Research and Data Management Policies and Practices IG
Co-chaired by representatives from the Wellcome Trust, National Institutes of Health, the Japan Science and Technology Agency and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, with strong links to the RDA Funders Forum, the Research Funders and Stakeholders on Open Research and Data Management Policies and Practices IG aims to:  

Provide a venue for funders to bring forward issues for discussion with the broader RDA community; 

Develop deliverables useful to funders and, ideally, other members of the RDA community and research data ecosystem.

Building on BoFs at RDA Plenaries 10 (Montreal), 11 (Berlin) and 12 (Gaborone), the IG for Research Funders and Stakeholders on Open Research and Data Management Policies and Practices held its inaugural meeting at RDA 13 (Philadelphia), with subsequent meets at RDA 14 and 16, and a joint meeting at RDA P17. In advance of RDA 14, the IG developed and circulated a survey to research funders about open science policy, with the aim that the survey would inform the session discussions at RDA 14 and provide input into possible deliverables.
