Center for Open Science: Strategic Plan

The Center for Open Science (COS) has a mission to increase the openness, integrity, and trustworthiness of research. During the next three years, we will demonstrate, improve, and promote pathways for doing and consuming lifecycle open science. This represents a convergence of our infrastructure, research, policy, and capacity building activities over the last decade to a singular true north objective. Our strategic objective is supported by a systems-level theory of change and an engagement strategy that meets communities at their readiness to consider, test, adapt, and adopt new practices and norms. By assessing current practices, reimagining research, offering open science infrastructure and solutions, and building community capacity, we partner with a global community of change agents to shift culture and practice to increase research trustworthiness and accelerate progress.
