17. Science Community Workshop II 17 OOI Data Policy Data will be rapidly disseminated, open, and freely available. Near-real-time with latencies as small as technical feasibility allows. PI sensor data shall be publicly available.*  PI may request exclusive access (up to 1 year)  Case by case basis  Exclusivity expires, all data becomes public

18. OOI Proposed Installation Schedule

19. 19 Example Research Opportunities Using OOI data Developing models to use OOI data Develop visualization, analysis tools Field experiments near OOI infrastructure Modify/control sampling rates Adding new sensors and/or software

20. 20 simpler vs more complex Refers to the path for evaluation and approval. Simpler – no direct interaction with OOI network hardware or software Complex - direct interaction with OOI network hardware or software (implies direct interaction with OOI operators)

21. Science Community Workshop II 21 “Simpler” Path (no direct impact to OOI network) 1.Become informed about network, data, access 2.Request funding:  Proposal to appropriate NSF section, or  Proposal to other agency 3.NSF (or other agency) merit review 4.Funded Go to work

22. Science Community Workshop II 22 “Complex” Path (direct impact) 1.Become informed about network, data, access 2.Submit planning letter to NSF  Receive initial technical assessment and feedback 3.Submit proposal and revised planning letter to NSF:  Proposal to appropriate NSF section  Proposal to other agency (with agency-NSF coordination) 4.NSF (or other agency) merit review, if highly ranked then, 5.More detailed technical assessment 6.Funded Go to work, in collaboration with  OOI Facility Operators Committee (scheduling, engineering, & logistics assistance)  Facility operators provide assistance during research project
