Budget Request from CODATA*
CODATA designates part of its budget for Task Groups and at the discretion of the Executive Committee provides a small amount of seed funding: historically this has ranged between 1K and 10K euros per year. In recent years, allocations of 4-8K euros per year have been most common. Such funding must be used to achieve tangible TG outputs. For example, directly supporting the drafting, publication or testing of TG outputs, convening a workshop or similar is within scope; speculative attendance at a conference is not. Indicate financial request from CODATA and justification, costings.
Financial support from sources other than CODATA (indicate if committed or expected)
Grants, contracts, travel expense support, etc. In kind support (equivalent salaried effort, infrastructure)
Other organizations or programs sponsoring or participating in the Task Group and their expected role(s)
Summary of outputs and outcomes since the 2023 General Assembly*
Highlight outputs (e.g. publications, particularly those in the CODATA Data Science Journal, reports, white papers, workshops etc and tangible activities such as meetings, workshops etc). In this report, Task Groups should also describe the broader impact and outcomes achieved and how the TG has contributed to the CODATA Strategic Priorities (i.e. what has been the effect of what you have done, what has changed?).
