ODF must have a clear and complete plan for updates, expansion, and user support beyond the award period. It must delineate principles and examples of specific mechanisms for integration with current and future tool development, cyberinfrastructure facilities, and programs that will support effective use of the data. ODF should also provide detailed information on how data transfer speed and any co-location needs will be addressed.
