Call for proposals for the URSSI Early-Career Fellowship Program
Kyle Niemeyer and Nic Weber • November 22, 2024
The US Research Software Sustainability Institute (URSSI) invites applications for an Early-Career Fellowship program. This fellowship offers funding support between $10,000 and $25,000 for research in one of the following areas: AI/ML Integration in Scientific Software Development, Scientific Software Sustainability, or Software Education Research. The fellowship is open to PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, research software engineers, and research scientists who are less than three years removed from their final degree.
Applications now open for a Summer School in Open Science + Research Software Engineering
Madicken Munk • May 20, 2024
Do you want your science, research, and software to be open and accessible? Do you use or develop software in your research? Do you have some basic skills and would like to build on and expand them? If this sounds like you, then you might be interested in the upcoming Summer School in Open Science and Research Software Engineering. In July 2024, we will be hosting a five-day workshop on open science and research software engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Applications now open for the 2024 URSSI Summer School in Research Software Engineering
Kyle Niemeyer, Lorena Barba • February 29, 2024
Do you develop software for your research? Do you have some basic skills but desire more? If so, you might be interested in the upcoming URSSI Summer School in Research Software Engineering. Building off our pilot workshop in December 2019 and a recent winter school held in January 2024, we are hosting a three-day workshop on research software engineering skills over 24–26 June 2024 in Washington, DC, on the campus of George Washington University.
A pathway for participation in research open source
James Howison, Jennifer Schopf • February 20, 2024
In planning for the University of Texas at Austin Open Source Program Office (UT-OSPO), funded by the Sloan Foundation in 2023, we worked to think about the impacts that we hoped to have on campus (and beyond). In this effort, we were inspired by models of increasing engagement, sometimes broadly called “maturity models.” This approach helped bring together our OSPO team from across campus around the idea of a Participation Pathway.
