<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Ellen and I have shared with you a few times about our DesignSafe and CONVERGE partnership that has allowed us to train several social and behavioral scientists on how to
do end-to-end data management and data publication. We are really pleased to share that thanks to funding support from NOAA and NSF, the Natural Hazards Center has now issued a special call for proposals to incentivize hazards researchers to publish their
research instruments <i>($1,250</i> for surveys, interview guides, etc.) and data
<i>($2,500</i> for data, instruments, and research protocols). While this special call is focused on social and behavioral scientists and weather-related research, I was excited to share this with all of you to hopefully spark additional ideas for how we can
MOTIVATE and INSPIRE new waves of researchers to publish their data! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
