The Land-Grant Universities come to mind as an early example in US history when the US Congress passed the Morrill Act authorizing the selling of federal property to fund the creation of state universities focused on agricultural and technical education. Land Grants were followed by Sea Grants, Space Grants, and Sun Grants with each program following a slightly different federal funding or authorization model. In the case of Land Grants, Congress recognized the need for experts to go beyond the academic teaching of the Land-Grant Universities and authorized the creation of Land-Grant Cooperative Extension Services thereby bringing experts to rural communities with the passage of the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. While each of these traditional public resources were and are valuable economic drivers for this country there are others that might be currently more significant. Specifically, it is time to recognize that data, or at least data that is publicly funded, is one of the greatest public trust resources of the 21st century. While many institutions are supporting data-related initiatives there is still a strong need for the equivalent of a Data Grant.born digitalPresentation slidesengpublic-trust resourcesopen databenefitschallengesdata grantTextThis presentation is open access and distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).
