<p>From <a href="http://icpsr.blogspot.com/2013/09/sustaining-domain-repositories-for.html">ICPSR and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation</a> -- Domain repositories in the social and natural sciences each serve a scientific community, whether it be a traditional academic discipline, a subdiscipline, or an interdisciplinary network of scientists, united by a common focus. Despite the growing demand for data sharing and access, domain repositories face an uncertain financial future in the United States. Domain repositories must be funded as the essential piece of the US research infrastructure that they are.</p>

<p>In February 2013, the Executive Office of the President's Office of Science and Technology Policy published a <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/ostp_public_access_memo_2013.pdf">memo</a> titled "Increasing Access to the Results of Federally Funded Scientific Research," which directs funding agencies with an annual R&D budget over $100 million to develop a public-access plan for disseminating the results of their research. Planning resources are available on ICPSR's <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/ICPSR/guidelines-for-ostp-data-access-plans">Slideshare</a> account and on its <a href="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/datamanagement/ostp.html">Data Management & Curation</a> site.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/instructors/setups2012/">Voting Behavior: The 2012 Election website</a> is available for use. The newest SETUPS (Supplementary Empirical Teaching Units in Political Science) module provides students the ability to analyze an accessible dataset drawn from the 2012 American National Election Study (ANES) survey of the American electorate. In addition, the <a href="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/METLDB/">Measures of Effective Teaching Longitudinal Database</a> (MET LDB), the largest study of classroom teaching ever conducted in the United States, is ready for analysis.</p>
