Sage offers the following service plans to the scientific community: (1) a free Standard pPan; (2) a paid-for Managed Plan; and (3) a paid-for Customized Data Coordination Plan. The Sage Terms of Service apply to each of these plans unless otherwise noted. Additional governance terms may apply.
Standard Data Hosting Plan
The Standard Plan is intended for individual researchers wanting to share small datasets (<100GB) for publication (including creating DOIs) and scientific, educational, and research collaborations. This plan includes self-service project set-up and data hosting . with no direct support from Sage Staff. Sage does not guarantee data longevity in the Standard plan. Because of limits in dataset size limits, data longevity guarantees, and the absence of consulting help, we do not recommend this as a response to the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy.
Managed Data Hosting Plan
The Managed Data Hosting Plan expands our our Standard Plan offering by including data longevity guarantees, consultation services for setting up and sharing data according to the F.A.I.R principles, access to consulting hours with our experienced governance team, and tools for managing data access requests. This is our recommended plan for new grants that will include an compliance with the NIH Data Management and Sharing plan/budgetPolicy.
Data Coordination Plan
The Data Coordination plan enables the creation of Plan offers customized end-to-end centers in support management of data supporting collaborative, multi-institutional research consortia. This plan supplements the core data platform services in the Managed Plan with additional customized consulting services, and data curation, harmonization, and validation services. It also includes work to localize data policies and governance controls to your particular country’s requirements as applicable. Finally, we provide services to create a customized and feature-rich data exploration portal for your coordination center that includes links to sophisticated computational environments. Because data coordination projects are typically customized to meet the needs of a particular proposal, please they are subject to additional contractual documentation.
