The NOAA Acquisition and Grants Office (AGO) has issued Acquisition Alert 17-01: "NOAA Solicitations and Contracts Producing Environmental Data or Peer-Reviewed Publications" describing implementation of this Directive for contracts and contract solicitations.
The EDMC is committed to developing documents, templates, and other resources to assist NOAA Line Offices with the task of implementing NOAA Procedural Directives. These resources are hosted on the NOAA Data Sharing Policy for Grants Procedural Directive page of the NOAA EDM Wiki.
