This $762,536 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. The award aims to transition the Rosetta Commons biomolecular modeling software to a self-sustaining open-source ecosystem. Key objectives include:
-
Driving collaborative development, governance, and adoption of new AI technologies in molecular modeling through open licenses.
-
Developing standardized APIs, workflows, documentation, and tutorials to fuel growth of the open-source ecosystem, while maintaining software quality, security, and accessibility.
-
Providing support and maintenance for key infrastructure.
-
Establishing a new governance model to empower community leaders and ensure long-term sustainability and broad impact.
This project expands the open Rosetta ecosystem beyond the traditional codebase, allowing the research community to drive scientific breakthroughs through complex open-source workflows. The Open Molecular Software Foundation, a non-profit organization, will serve as the primary awardee and is planned to issue sub-awards as part of this initiative.
