Beginning this fall, NSF will require that all proposals include a data 
management plan in the form of a two-page supplementary document. The 
research community will be informed of the specifics of the anticipated 
changes and the agency's expectations for the data management plans.

The changes are designed to address trends and needs in the modern era 
of data-driven science. "Science is becoming data-intensive and 
collaborative," notes Ed Seidel, acting assistant director for NSF's 
Mathematical and Physical Sciences directorate. "Researchers from 
numerous disciplines need to work together to attack complex problems; 
openly sharing data will pave the way for researchers to communicate and 
collaborate more effectively."

We're looking at how to assist researchers with this.  Has anyone 
established any security strategies related to this new requirement?
