Cyberinfrastructure for Public Access and Open Science

The Cyberinfrastructure for Public Access and Open Science (CI PAOS) program aims to catalyze new and transformative socio-technical partnerships supporting research data infrastructure ecosystems across domains. The program encourages innovation across the CI ecosystem to address accessibility, discoverability, reliability, reproducibility, sustainability, and utility of data products in alignment with NSF and national goals for public access and open science. Some key points to note about this opportunity include: * The program supports early-stage collaborative activities between cyberinfrastructure researchers, scientists, research computing experts, data management experts, research labs, university libraries, and other communities of practice. * Leveraging international collaboration to build shared norms and address challenges related to developing and implementing PAOS policies and practices is encouraged. * Proposers must target one or more of the following themes/pathways: Competency Building, Capability Building, and/or Community Building. * Proposals should clearly describe the goals, challenges, and rationale for the proposed data science and engineering project and include an explanation of the potential for transformative research and broader impacts on the open science ecosystem.
