About the company
Center For Open Science, Inc. operates as a tax-exempt nonprofit recipient of federal research grants focused on open science infrastructure, research transparency, and reproducible scholarship practices — the vendor does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient. Based in Charlottesville, Virginia, the organization builds and maintains the Open Science Framework (OSF), a free, open-source platform enabling researchers to manage and conduct work following open science practices.
Center For Open Science's federal funding profile centers on the National Science Foundation, which accounts for the plurality of recent awards. The top five customer agencies by award count (NSF, NSF Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, NASA Shared Services Center, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the Department of the Interior) represent 69% of recent awards; NSF and its subordinate offices dominate, with four grants from NSF and two from the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure. The combined potential value across all prime and sub awards in the source reaches $146 thousand; however, obligated dollars total $25 million, indicating substantial prior-year funding draw-down and multi-year grant execution.
Recent grant work includes a $595,939 award from NSF's Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (November 2026, CFDA 47.070) to pioneer structured outcome reporting as a model of scientific communication, developing workflows and tools connecting registered research plans, outputs (data, materials, code), and outcomes following FAIR principles through October 2029. Center For Open Science also received a $397,850 grant from NSF's Office of Integrative Activities (August 2026, CFDA 47.050) under the Geosciences program to coordinate researcher training, institutional support, and publication practices across academic institutions, libraries, and scientific publishers nationwide to advance open and reproducible research in the geosciences through July 2029. An NSF Platform for Open Research Environments (POSE) Phase II award (September 2023) funded development of a distributed open-source ecosystem around the OSF to expand community-driven open scholarship, governance structures, and cross-disciplinary tooling; that award completed August 2025. Center For Open Science also conducted workshops and a culminating conference under NASA's Year of Open Science initiative ($145,953, completed July 2024). In its subrecipient role, the organization participated in a November 2025 sub-award from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (conducting surveys, interviews, and audits to guide improvements to research rigor) and a September 2024 sub-award from William Marsh Rice University on national research infrastructure for large-scale learning science and engineering.
