Abstract
The USGS is increasingly recognizing that access to scientific data requires the ability to maximize investment in federal data through adoption of FAIR Principles – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. In the last decade, USGS has introduced policies and practices that have steadily moved the Bureau towards FAIRer and open data products. This presentation will focus on the USGS approach to data governance in a widely distributed organization, steps we are taking to become more FAIR, and how we consistently build community around data tools, training, and best practices to achieve these goals.
