[An-lang] NSF and data ownership

Greetings,

I'm looking for some pointers to data ownership policies in sponsored
research.

>From a context in the USA, some US government organizations's research and
publications fall into the public domain - such as work done under the
Peace Corp i.e. Zorc's dictionary and grammar of Aklanon. This is a trait
of how US law treats copyright claims of departments of federal government.

However, there seems to be other funding organizations such as the US
Department of Education, or  NSF, NEH, USAID etc. And then there are
frameworks from other political entities such as the EU, UK, or Australia.

Are there clear lines of ownership for data collected in Federally funded
research or does this depend if the research is "grant funded" or "funded
and managed within a department of government"?

Since I don't have experience with research funding institutions outside of
the USA, does anyone here have experience with this issue in contexts other
than USA (or within the USA too)?

all the best,
- Hugh Paterson III
