The National Consultation on Access to Scientific Research Data (NCASRD) is a partnership initiative of the National Research Council Canada, the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). The goal of the NCASRD is to help Canada maximize the value received from its publicly funded natural and medical sciences research by recommending an appropriate framework and guidelines, which will facilitate open and long-term access to data coming from that research.
The NCASRD stems from a National Research Council (NRC) seminar held in May 2003, in which over fifty representatives from the natural and medical sciences community recommended that a comprehensive study, complementary to the National Data Archive Consultation for the social sciences completed by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and the National Archives of Canada, be conducted to examine access to scientific research data.
The Final Report is now available, in English or French

LogKOW©
LogKOW© is a databank of evaluated octanol-water partition coefficients, and is now available Online. Auxiliary data include: IUPAC names, pKa values, S.M.I.L.E.S. strings, CAS Registry Numbers, summary of experimental conditions of measurement, Recommended Values and full references in Chemical Abstracts style. Previously available on a subscription basis, LOGKOW© is now presented free of charge by Dr. James Sangster (Sangster Research Laboratories) and under the auspices of CNC/CODATA.
Mycotox
The Mycotox file contains a list of fungi, the mycotoxins they have been found to produce, and citations to the articles which describes this finding. This dataset has been prepared by Dr. A. Taylor and is not available in print form. Inquiries, or offers to collaborate on this project, may be directed to Dr. Taylor through the Secretariat of the Canadian National Committee for CODATA (CNC/CODATA)
