Science and engineering research and education are increasingly digital and increasingly data-intensive. This solicitation addresses the challenge of managing the diversity, size, and complexity of current and future data sets and data streams by creating a set of exemplar national and global data research infrastructure organizations (dubbed DataNet Partners). The new types of organizations envisioned in this solicitation will integrate library and archival sciences, cyberinfrastructure, computer and information sciences, and domain science expertise. By demonstrating feasibility, identifying best practices, establishing viable models for long term technical and economic sustainability, and incorporating frontier research, these exemplar organizations can serve as the basis for rational investment in digital preservation and access by diverse sectors of society at the local, regional, national, and international levels, paving the way for a robust and resilient national and global digital data framework.
