OSTP: Public Access Policies for Federally Funded Research

Department of Defense (DOD)

DOD released its Public Access Plan in December 2024. DOD has not yet released its updated Public Access Policy.

Based on current policy:

  • Requires all research proposals to include a Data Management Plan (DMP).

DoD requires DoD-funded investigators to:

  • Submit an electronic version of peer-reviewed manuscripts to the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC).
  • DoD aims to implement a decentralized approach for storing data. There is no specific solution for storing data.
