Building Sustainable Software Tools for Open Science (R03 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the renewal of the funding opportunity for Building Sustainable Software Tools for Open Science. This initiative aims to support the development of robust, sustainable, scalable, and reproducible research software tools and workflows, as well as to promote community engagement for open science. The funding opportunity will use the R03 activity code and is aligned with the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science. Some key aspects of this opportunity include: • Developing research software tools and workflows that are robust, sustainable, scalable, and reproducible • Extending the impact of research software by broader dissemination to the scientific community • Supporting collaborations between scientists and software engineers to leverage modern, best practices in research software development • Enhancing software skills of the research workforce • Aligning with the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science
