+- **Join Interest Groups:** [Join OSSci Interest Groups](https://chief.sc/ossci-join)
+- **OSSci Spotlight on Medium:** [Read OSSci Spotlight](https://medium.com/tag/ossci-spotlight)
+
+## Overview
+
+The Open Source Science Initiative (OSSci) is a program run by NumFOCUS that facilitates dialogue between open-source research software communities and researchers. Engaging with over 120 organizations, institutions, and open-source projects, OSSci develops effective shared solutions to challenges faced by the scientific community and supports the emerging generation of scientists relying on open-source tools, data, and code.
+
+## Interest Groups
+
+OSSci has established several interest groups to foster collaboration in specific domains:
+
+- **Climate & Sustainability**
+- **Map of Open Source Science (MOSS)**
+- **Reproducible Science**
+- **Healthcare and Life Sciences**
+- **Chemistry and Materials Science**
+- **Economics**
+
+Individuals interested in joining these groups can find more information [here](https://chief.sc/ossci-join).
+
+## Contact
+
+For collaboration inquiries, please contact [info@numfocus.org](mailto:info@numfocus.org).
+
+## Funders
+
+OSSci is co-founded by [NumFOCUS](https://numfocus.org/open-source-science-initiative-ossci) and IBM. While additional funders specific to OSSci have not been explicitly detailed, organizations such as NASA, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and the National Science Foundation have supported open-source science initiatives more broadly.
