An open exchange of ideas accelerates scientific progress towards solving humanity's most persistent problems. The challenges of disease, poverty, education, social justice, and the environment are too urgent to waste time on studies lacking rigor, outcomes that are never shared, and findings that are not reproducible. We support research globally by providing tools and training, and by coordinating culture change in norms, incentives, and policies across the research community to make research go further, faster, and better.
We maintain the Open Science Framework (OSF) to help researchers conduct research more rigorously, and manage and share their work more openly.
From individuals to institutions, we educate, train, and support research communities and their affiliates toward greater adoption of open and reproducible practices.
We conduct research on research practices to understand areas of inefficiency, and to evaluate interventions to improve.
