How can I secure funding for an Open Access dataset upload?

IEEE DataPort cannot advise individual researchers on their funding techniques, but we know there are a number of ways that researchers can secure funding to cover the $1950 cost of uploading an Open Access dataset, including:  

- Researchers have requested the funding from their institution and the institution has provided a check to IEEE DataPort to cover the cost

- Some researchers utilize research grant funding to cover the cost of the Open Access dataset upload

It is important to meet funding agency requirements and many researchers are required to publish their data as Open Access data. Please note that the Premium Institutional Subscription will enable any member of the subscribing institution to upload Open Access datasets at no cost to the individual researcher. If your institution is interested in a subscription, learn more about institutional subscriptions and request a quote on this page.
