OSF Registries

OSF Registries is a scholarly repository platform where communities can build aggregations of rigorous registrations to increase the accessibility, discoverability, and reuse of high-quality research.

At times, COS makes grants to individuals and organizations in support of open science initiatives. For COS grants of $50,000 or less, no overhead costs are permitted. For COS grants larger than $50,000, overhead costs may not exceed 15% of direct project costs.

Responsible stewards of your support

COS has earned top recognition from Charity Navigator and Candid (formerly GuideStar) for our financial transparency and accountability to our mission. COS and the OSF were also awarded SOC2 accreditation in 2023 after an independent assessment of our security and procedures by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA).

We invite all of our sponsors, partners, and members of the community to learn more about how our organization operates, our impact, our financial performance, and our nonprofit status.
