Module 7 Handbook: Why and when?

You need sustainable access to data:

so existing research can be validated and build upon
to support digitally-enabled services that rely on sustainable access to relevant data
provided in a way that enables integration, analysis and use
to reduce risk and improve decisions
to support data ecosystems (it gives organisations the confidence to invest in using data to develop new products, services and research)

You need to plan for sustainable access to data from the very beginning of the grant proposal.

As part of this, you will need to consult the people and organisations impacted by access to the data.

Ensuring sustainable access to data will incur a cost and you should budget for this at the start of the project.
