CZI EOSS grantees

This page describes training opportunities and resources hosted by the Open Science team to support the Essential Open Source Software for Science (EOSS) grantee community.

We are also happy to meet with our EOSS grantees for project updates! Please contact a team member to schedule a time.

Pages of interest

While this site is intended to share a broad variety of information about open science practices with biomedical researchers, the following sections are of particular importance to our EOSS community:

• CZI grantees page: general expectations and resources available to our supported projects.
• Collaborative research software engineering projects: resources relevant to creation of open source software for science, including topics in project management and community development

EOSS Training

The CZI Open Science program has tested various support activities for open source grantees. This section includes information about recommended materials and training opportunities we’ve tried.

• Code of Conduct: If you are seeking general training on enforcing Codes of Conduct, we recommend Otter Tech’s Code of Conduct Incident Response Workshop.

• Managing Research Software Projects: Greg Wilson has a series of modules covering product/project management. He taught a four-part version of this course for CZI in spring 2022.

• Scientific Community Engagement Fundamentals: The Center for Scientific Collaboration and Community Engagement (CSCCE) hosted custom cohorts of Scientific Community Engagement Fundamentals for EOSS (and other open science) grantees in H2 2022 and H2 2023. Additional workshops in late 2022 covered additional topics in open source community management.

• Application Design for Web and Desktop: Nielsen Norman Group taught their Application Design for Web and Desktop class in December 2022 to support EOSS grantees interested in improving user experiences.

Acknowledging CZI

If your software project has been funded by EOSS, we have a few options for acknowledging CZI on your GitHub page or software website using a logo or badge. You can find the standard logo approved for use by grantees in presentations here. Alternatively, see below for options for an EOSS badge.

Recommended langage

You may choose to use the following recommended language in place of or in addition to an image/badge:

EOSS badge rendered via shields.io

The badges in this section fit the spec of shields.io and will render nicely with the rest of your badge collection. The first option is short and sweet:

Here are some additional options, though the inclusion of the logo makes the URL very long. To use them, right click to copy the image address and replace the linked image in the code snippet above.
