"The new Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems program supports more than 20 Phase I awards to create and grow sustainable high-impact open-source ecosystems The U.S. National Science Foundation announced the first Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems, or POSE, program awards to more than 20 Phase I projects. Researchers will create ecosystems for materials science research, renewable energy adoption, natural hazards, health data sciences and informatics, supply chain monitoring, and many other important applications. Launched by NSF's Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships, or TIP, and supported by all NSF directorates, the POSE program harnesses the power of open-source development for the creation of new technology solutions to problems of societal, economic and technological importance. The POSE program supports managing organizations that will facilitate the creation and growth of sustainable high-impact open-source ecosystems, or OSEs, around already-developed open-source products, many of which are the result of prior NSF-funded research. Each managing organization will establish capabilities critical to the growth of its OSE, including security, privacy, developer and end-user coordination, and efficient technology delivery...."
