NASA’s Biological and Physical Sciences Division will hold a virtual Town Hall meeting on December 14, 2022 at 12:00 pm ET.

A notice circulated by the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research (ASGSR) provides this information:

NASA Biological and Physical Sciences
Virtual Town Hall
December 14, 2022 – 12pm Eastern


BPS Community Town Hall December 14th, 2022

To increase scientific research throughput and the transparency of government funded research, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) seeks to transform the collection, archival/preservation, curation, and distribution of science data. To that end, the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) has issued new policies as described in the Scientific Information Policy (SMD Policy Document SPD-41) for the Science Mission Directorate consistent with NASA and Federal policy, that information produced from SMD-funded scientific research activities be made publicly available. This information includes publications, data, and software created in the pursuit of scientific knowledge.

The Biological and Physical Sciences (BPS) Division now has the BPS Scientific Data Management Policy, which defines policies and provides guidelines for managing scientific data by its programs, projects, investigators, and data repositories. Application of this new policy will begin in January 2023 with newly funded research, although all existing funded research are encouraged to follow the policy.

BPS division will hold a community town hall on Wednesday December 14th at 12 pm Eastern Time to discuss the new policy and answer questions.

Members of BPS, the science community, academia, and the public are invited to participate by joining at the link below:
