Sustaining Open Source Software in the Research Enterprise - Ithaka S+R Sustaining Open Source Software in the Research Enterprise Chelsea McCracken , Dylan Ruediger Ithaka S+R and the Apereo Foundation welcome applications to participate in Sustaining Open Source Software in the Research Enterprise , a workshop made possible by generous funding from the National Science Foundation, Alfred P.
Sloan Foundation, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Higher education serves as a seedbed for highly successful Open Source Software (OSS). Apache, Linux, R, and Python are all examples of currently widely-used, impactful, and sustained open source projects with roots in higher education.
Colleges and universities have also implemented OSS to a significant degree in support of campus infrastructure, teaching and learning, and research computing. OSS serves a variety of functions in the academy, from addressing resource constraints to aligning with other open initiatives such as Open Science/Research, Open Educational Resources (OER), and others.
Successful applicants will receive funding to participate in a one-day, in-person workshop, bringing together OSS leaders from across higher education, open source foundations, and the private sector to discuss sustainability strategies and identify governance and infrastructure opportunities that spur broad and diverse adoption and sustainability of OSS.
Participants will identify practical opportunities to develop holistic institutional pathways to better harness the power of OSS for open science and technological innovation by improving the resiliency and sustainability of the OSS ecosystem at their home institutions and across higher education. Who is eligible to apply?
We welcome applications from practitioners with experience developing or contributing to OSS in higher education settings, especially those who develop OSS for research. We also encourage individuals affiliated with other stakeholder communities, such as the non-profit or private sector, to apply.
Applicants should have experience working on OSS projects, particularly those associated with higher education, and/or research experience that includes leveraging OSS. At this time we are not able to fund participants from outside the US. The one-day, in-person workshop will be held at Ithaka S+R’s offices in New York City on Friday, August 8, 2025 from approximately 8am to 5pm.
Applicants are requested to be onsite during the entire duration of the workshop. There will be an optional reception on Thursday, August 7 at 4:30pm. What support will Ithaka S+R and the Apereo Foundation provide?
The organizing committee will provide funding for travel and accommodations for workshop participants. Reimbursement for reasonable child care costs is available for participants. When are applications due?

Past winners and funding trends for this program
On August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
Read articleOn July 14, 2026, NSF named 12 new Regional Innovation Engines across 20 states, each starting with $15 million over two years and eligible for up to $160 million across a decade. But the Engines program is not a research grant — it is a bet on a regional coalition's ability to convert federal seed money into private matching capital. The first cohort turned $135 million into over $2 billion in commitments. Here is how the milestone-gated structure actually works, who wins these awards, and what a region needs in place long before the next competition opens.
Read articleNSF has moved to stand up the NAIRR Operations Center — a single award of up to $35 million over five years to run the National AI Research Resource. Backed by 14 federal agencies and 28 private partners, NAIRR has already connected 400+ research teams to compute and data most labs could never buy on their own. Here is what the transition from pilot to permanent program means, and how researchers actually get an allocation.
