This grant provides continued support for the Johns Hopkins University Open Source Programs Office (OSPO), which is managed by Megan Forbes and directed by Bill Branan. With grant support, the OSPO plans to develop a Research Software Support Network (RSSN) to connect distributed expertise and services at the university, create visible pathways for researchers to find network participants, and ensure that available support aligns with researcher needs. The RSSN will span organizational units including the Libraries, Research Computing, Technology Ventures, and JHU’s new Data Science and AI Institute. A key component of the effort will be the development and implementation of a Research Software Assessment to identify the distinct needs of a given software project, positioning the OSPO as a network coordinator and research connector across the Johns Hopkins campus. The Foundation has provided $350,000 since 2020 in support of the Johns Hopkins University OSPO.
