Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable Open Science

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking proposals for the Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable Open Science (FAIROS) program. The program aims to support a broad range of transformative open science activities, including research, education, and socio-technical cyberinfrastructure development capacities that advance sustainable multi-disciplinary findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable (FAIR) research data management and open science capabilities. • The program will support innovation across the cyberinfrastructure ecosystem to address accessibility, data curation, research data management, discoverability, reliability, reproducibility, preservation, sustainability, and utility of research products. • Proposals must select one of two tracks to focus on: Disciplinary Improvements or Cross-Cutting Improvements. • The program is undertaken in support of the US NSF Public Access Initiative. • Eligible applicants include non-profit, non-academic organizations, institutions of higher education, tribal nations, and other federal agencies and federally funded research and development centers. • The estimated funding for this program is $6,000,000, with up to 10 awards expected.
