CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim:  Open source software is critical to modern scientific r
 esearch\, advancing biology and medicine while providing reproducibility a
 nd transparency. Hundreds of software packages\, libraries\, and applicati
 ons have become essential tools for research—so much so that many resear
 chers could not continue their work without them. \n \nAt the Chan Zucke
 rberg Initiative (CZI)\, we are thrilled to be partnering with Wellcome 
 and the Kavli Foundation as co-funders for the sixth cycle of the Essen
 tial Open Source Software for Science (EOSS) RFA.  We are seeking letters
  of intent in support of funding for software projects that are essential 
 to biomedical research. \n\nThe goal of the EOSS RFA is to support softwa
 re maintenance\, growth\, development\, and community engagement for these
  critical tools. Ideal applications will have previously demonstrated impa
 ct\, currently show potential for continued improvement\, and expect to de
 liver added value to the biomedical research community through the propose
 d activities.\n\nFunding:       max. $400\,000\n\nDuration:      
 2 years\n\nEligibility: Applications may be submitted by non-profit and fo
 r-profit organizations\, public and private institutions\, such as college
 s\, universities\, hospitals\, laboratories\, units of state and local gov
 ernment\, companies\, and eligible agencies of the federal government. App
 lications are welcome from any country\, provided the proposed work is com
 pliant with the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign As
 set Control (OFAC) sanctions program.\n\nHow to Apply: The EOSS RFA will b
 e a two-step process: an initial Letter of Intent (LOI)\, followed by invi
 tations (expected 02 November) to a select number of applicants to submit 
 a Full Application. LOIs do not need a full budget\, a finalized list of 
 personnel\, deliverables\, or institutional sign-off. A subset of the LOI 
 applicants will be invited to submit a full application. Detailed budgets 
 are required at the full application stage\, and should include overhead o
 f 15%. Institutional Approval Forms are also required at the full applicat
 ion stage\; please contact the Research Office for this step.\n \n\n	Dead
 line (LOI) :  17 October 2023 (5:00 pm PT)\n	 \n	Deadline (Full proposal
 \, by invite) :  05 December 2023\n	 \n\nFurther information\n\n\n	Check

 on about the program is available here\n	The application portal can be fou
