With the publication of the OSTP Nelson memo, the drive towards free public access to federally funded research continues. But questions remain around the forms this will take, the specific requirements each agency will place on their researchers, and most importantly, how any such initiatives will be funded. Our panel for this educational session will discuss the development of a successful funder-supported approach to open access and equip attendees with tools to help further bring funders into the discussion around open access to research outputs.
