To support the institutionalization of an Open Source Programs Office at Syracuse University
This grant provides continued support for the Open Source Program Office (OSPO) at Syracuse University, which is led by Vice Provost for Research Duncan Brown and directed by Collin Capano, a professor of physics. In addition to continuing deeper engagements with faculty open source projects and broader outreach to build new relationships, the OSPO plans to adopt a model by which open source development is integrated into course curricula, allowing student teams to learn technical skills through capstone projects while also contributing to faculty research software. In addition, Syracuse will move to institutionalize the OSPO Director role for long-term sustainability.The Foundation has provided $637,390 since 2023 in support of the Syracuse University OSPO.
