The overarching vision of POSE is that proactive and intentional formation of managing organizations will ensure broader and more diverse adoption of open-source products; increased coordination of external intellectual content developer contributions; and a more focused route to technologies with broad societal impact. Toward this end, the POSE program supports the formation of new OSE managing organizations based on an existing open-source product or class of products, whereby each organization is responsible for the creation and management of processes and infrastructure needed for the efficient and secure development and maintenance of an OSE.|Open-Source Ecosystems (OSEs), Managing Organizations, Societal Impact, Technology Solutions|USA|Current| -| US National Science Foundation (NSF) | Safety, Security, and Privacy of Open-Source Ecosystems (Safe-OSE) | | 2025-04-22 | Vulnerabilities in an open-source product and/or its continuous development, integration and deployment infrastructure can potentially be exploited to attack any user (human, organization, and/or another product/entity) of the product. To respond to the growing threats to the safety, security, and privacy of open-source ecosystems (OSEs), NSF is launching the Safety, Security, and Privacy for Open-Source Ecosystems (Safe-OSE) program. This program solicits proposals from OSEs, including those not originally funded by NSF’s Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) program, to address significant safety, security, and/or privacy vulnerabilities, both technical (e.g., vulnerabilities in code and side-channels) and socio-technical (e.g., supply chain, insider threats, and social engineering). | Open-Source Ecosystems (OSEs), Safety, Security, Privacy Vulnerabilities, Socio-Technical Threats | USA | Current | -|NASA - Science Mission Directorate (SMD) | ROSES-24 F.8 Supplements for Open-Source Science| |2025-03-28| Supplements for Open-Source Science solicits proposals to add an open science component to an existing "parent" ROSES award.
