The Research Information Network and the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) are looking to fund a series of case studies which will examine what motivates researchers to work (or want to work) in an open manner with regard to their data, results and protocols, and whether advantages are delivered by working in this way. The case studies will also examine the disincentives and barriers to such 'open science' methods. The RIN and NESTA are making available up to £15,000 for this project, which is intended to run from October 2009 until January 2010.
