Institutional Support for Open Source Software in Research
Sponsor:
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
Summary:
The Technology program at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation supports research, training, community-building, and technological innovation in order to foster advances in the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge. The program is currently soliciting Letters of Inquiry from Principal Investigators at U.S. research institutions to launch Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs). Successful Letters of Inquiry will offer a clear vision for a long-term institutional support ecosystem for open source software – and the university faculty, students, research software engineers, and staff who build and maintain it – beyond the funding period.
