Join NIFA and the National Agricultural Library (NAL) on Tuesday, April 16, at 10:00 a.m. for an informational webinar on Departmental Regulation (DR) 1020-006, involving public access to scholarly publication and digital scientific research data assets. 

Register here.

All NIFA awardees and contractors who are engaged in USDA-supported scientific research are encouraged to attend. DR 1020-006 makes all peer-reviewed, scholarly publications and digital scientific research data assets arising from unclassified scientific research, supported wholly or in part by the USDA, accessible to the public to the extent practicable. DR 1020-006 implementation began in FY 2023 (October 1, 2022) and applies to NIFA awards, contracts and cooperative agreements.
