In conversation with…• Ben Ryan, EPSRC, May 2015• “EPSRC are trying to create a new research culture, and

Funder requirements
Option for supporting service
Option for supporting service
We are discussing options• How do you fund the resource to
meet the requirements? – Flat charge– Graduated charge depending on size of
grant– Percentage of grant– Proportion with number of FTE on grant
• Even if we do put it on the grants we have a transition period
What we will be doing in 2016
• Upgrade DSpace from V4.3 to V5.X– Mint DOIs (we have a DataCite licence)– Collect information on data requestors– Statistics of data use– Rebrand the ‘look and feel’
• Data display through VIVO• Communication across the whole research lifecycle
(a big project)• Participation in pilot of Jisc Shared Repository Service• Discussion with funders about support for the
services
