Funder Requirements
Understanding what is required of you when receiving a grant or other funding.
Several funding entities place constraints on researchers concerning how results of funded research are managed and communicated to the public. These are important to consider when planning a project and determining where and how to publish research outputs. While funder requirements vary, many require researchers to submit data management plans; others govern open access publishing. Further information about data management plans can be found here; more discussion on open access is here [link to Open Access page].
