To better coordinate work, inform the development of a COVID-19 research strategy, and meet DOE requirements, the Lab has set up a repository for Berkeley Lab research products related to COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2.
All research products involving Berkeley Lab scientists should be submitted to the repository in advance of submission to a journal or archive or other public release. These include open-literature publications, datasets, website portals, software tools, and presentations or conference abstracts disclosing unpublished work for the first time publicly.
In addition, DOE now requires all CARES Act-funded researchers to complete an information release form to share with the NVBL in advance of public release. The exception to this requirement is user facility research led by an external user.
Research teams should submit their research products (and NVBL information release, if applicable) at go.lbl.gov/covid-repository. NVBL-related submissions will be shared with the NVBL Executive Committee, as requested by DOE.
