What is the cost associated with depositing/storing/disseminating data through NACDA?

In general, since NACDA is funded by NIA to support NIA funded studies, we do not charge to curate data and materials. We have curated and self-published options for sharing your data. Please send us your data management plan draft and abstract so we can review them and give you a better idea of whether we recommend self-published or curated ([email protected]). The self-published (NACDA-OAR) option is available at no cost, although your research team will need to account for internal preparation of the data and materials prior to sharing. The curated cost depends on the details of your materials and whether they fit within the scope of our archive priorities.

In some instances, a data provider may need to have materials curated and we cannot commit to doing this in the time they need it, and instead of self-publishing, they can seek out ICPSR’s services – in these cases, please refer to  ICPSR’s Data Management Plans and Grant Support page and request a cost estimate.
