Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable Open Science (FAIROS)

The Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable Open Science (FAIROS) Program supports a broad range of transformative open science activities. These activities include advancing sustainable multi-disciplinary FAIR research data management (RDM) and open science capabilities, piloting new models of scientific communication and publication, developing FAIROS data portals and research data commons, and lowering barriers to accessing, curating, managing, and sharing data across disciplinary domains. Proposals must select one of two tracks: Disciplinary Improvements, focused on specific scientific communities, or Cross-Cutting Improvements, which apply across scientific fields. The program encourages collaborative, community-oriented, multidisciplinary projects involving one or more institutions. It supports innovation across the cyberinfrastructure ecosystem to address key issues in accessibility, data curation, research data management, discoverability, reliability, reproducibility, preservation, and sustainability of research products including data, software, and code. The program is undertaken in support of the US NSF Public Access Initiative.
