MS will make no claim on the researchers data and the researcher can access it through simple web service/rest APIs to move it to another provider if they desire. For that matter, we do not expect all data used in projects under this program will reside on Azure. However, there is a more complex part of the story. The National Science Foundation has requirements for eventual openness on data produced under research they fund. I am not the person to answer any questions regarding NSF policy. The eventual home for the data will be a negotiation between the researcher and the NSF. Let me know if you have any other questions about the program. Happy to answer them. Dennis Ps: You folks probably know my colleague on this project, Roger Barga better than me. We have been following the discussions, but we have been so busy getting this thing off the ground that we have not been able to participate much in the Infratructure 2.0 discussion.

Seriously, is there a mechanism to pull “my data” from Azure (or any similar service) and rehost it for any reason the owner chooses?
