End-to-End Data Management Services for Access and Discovery of NOAA's Research Data

In response to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Plan for Increasing Public Access to Research Results (PARR), the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) have created tools for data managers to submit environmental research data generated through the use of federal funds to the national archives. These straightforward tools promote use and metadata creation to ensure that data submitted can be discovered, accessed, and understood by the public. Collaborations between NCEI and other programs in NOAA, such as the National Ocean Service's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), have been forged to establish best practices for implementation of the PARR Plan.
