We are happy to announce a third cohort of the US Research Software Sustainability Institute (URSSI) Early-Career Fellowship. This cohort includes six fellows working on the following projects:
Reliable Agentic Workflows for Sustainable Multi-Language Scientific Software Interfaces - Su Sun is a postdoctoral scientific software engineer in Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University. His project will investigate whether agentic AI workflows can reliably maintain and sustain cross-language interfaces for scientific software, using the Cantera MATLAB interface as a case study. You can read more at the project website.

Stay tuned for upcoming announcements on workshops, training events, conferences and more.
As we get started on the institue, we have launched a series of core projects to improve the sustaniability of research software and the people who produce it.
This EAGER project will investigate the development and maintenance of software produced in research projects funded by the National Science Foundation. The goals of this project are: 1 To understand what factors influence software sustainability by gathering data from grant-funded research projects; 2 To describe current models of sustainability planning and suggest potential new models that could increase the likelihood of achieving long-term software sustainability; and 3 To develop new …
As part of a set of connected activities under the banner of the US Research Software Sustainability Institute, this grant funds an effort by Kyle Niemeyer, Associate Professor of mechanical engineering at Oregon State University, to develop and run four, weeklong “beyond introductory” winter/summer schools for researchers who want to deepen their software engineering skills. Beyond directly training researchers in sustainable software development, Niemeyer will develop, hone, and release a …
