What to share and how

Edit this page!

Overview of the state of problems, solutions, and grants

• share understanding of the state of the field in major topical areas, independent of any particular grantor

  • visualizations (and related tools for mapping, clustering)

  • summaries of past, present, future calls for proposals

  • summaries of grants made, proposals still looking for support, available excess capacity

• share essays from each partner (short post from JM about PDC)

  • This is really about helping applicants solve problems in their context — testimonies of beneficiaries from such data sharing

• share an index of potential systemic biases (& visualizations to gauge it)

Sharing data itself

• Share data & collections of it

• building a shared index of cool things (i4-style)

  • datasets

  • scripts

  • projects (w/ their own sets of the above)

• share scripts used in working w/ data

• share datasets themselves

• checklist of things to check for sharing (this doc)

  • do you have a mix of public/private data in one dataset? split it out!

• clustering via exec summary — often already anonymized

Share related tools & workflows

• share governance models for data that is contributed or exchanged,

  • Data Sharing Agreement for unrestricted-use data

  • Data Transfer Agreement +
    Data Use Agreement for restricted-use data (Examples: N3C)

  • Applying Ostrom’s Principles to Data Commons Governance (Anouk!)

• share good practices + training

  • data-anonymization and analysis (N3C examples @ member universities)

  • attribution, linking, + rich metadata

  • norms for establishing trust with applicants -- follow on support, discovery, no serious cases of reputation loss or damage

  • The Need of a Training School in Applied Philanthropy
    

• Share people + orgs to add to the network

  • RWJF has their own grants mgmt system - can experiment freely

  • People who reach out and want to help [via code + other workshops?]

Questions to answer

— How can current project leads / grant-seekers publish their proposals
— How can grantors archive calls or campaigns (w/ proposals + reviews)
— How can current grant-data silos migrate to long-term archives or libraries
