Support for GDR Sustainability
To help sustain the valuable resources provided by GDR, please consider the following ways to contribute: If you have any questions regarding this, please use the contact us form (support GDR category) or email GDR PI’s Sook Jung or Dorrie Main.
Option1: Include Funding in Your Research Proposals
Allocate funds for a contract with WSU (only 8% overhead). This will help support GDR’s ongoing efforts. Help we can provide includes:
- Ensuring your data is FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) during proposal planning.
- Providing a data management statement or plan for your proposal.
- Ensuring your data remains FAIR during data generation and submission for publication.
- Prioritizing making your data available in GDR at the time of publication.
- Feature your published data in the News section and the GDR quarterly newsletter.
- Providing annual GDR usage statistics for your published data to be included in your annual report.
Option 2: Collaborate with GDR on Large Projects or New Resources
If your research involves significant work for GDR — such as large community projects, new data types, or tools — consider including GDR PIs, Sook Jung or Dorrie Main, as co-principal investigators in your proposal. Please contact us to discuss. In addition to Option 1 (a-f), we will:
- Develop new resources to integrate and visualize your data as needed.
Option 3: Donations
If you are a scientist or breeder with access to non-grant funds, please consider donating to GDR. As a gift, this includes 5% overhead. We offer various levels of support for your research and breeding program.
