FRPAA- Taxpayer Issue Gets a Soap Box
The Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA) satisfies the central demand of the Alliance for Taxpayer Access: Ensuring taxpayers have access to the results of research funded with tax dollars. President Obama’s Office for Science & Technology Policy (OSTP) is attempting to collect genuine taxpayer comments through Thursday, January 7, 2010, addressing the following questions:
- Compliance. What features does a public access policy need to ensure compliance? Should this vary across agencies?
- Evaluation. How should an agency determine whether a public access policy is successful? What measures could agencies use to gauge whether there is increased return on federal investment gained by expanded access?
- Roles. How might a public private partnership promote robust management of a public access policy? Are there examples already in use that may serve as models? What is the best role for the Federal government?
