Are copyright and other intellectual property issues addressed in proposals?
A. Yes. Effective TICFIA proposals clearly identify any requirements for citation of project resources, and identify and discuss any restrictions on reuse of project data. Because TICFIA’s ultimate goal is to make resources available to the American public and academic community, effective proposals may avoid overstating restrictions that would limit “fair use” reuse of resources for educational and research applications, both in their agreements with collaborators, and in their own websites or data repositories.
