+# [NSF Geosciences Open Science Ecosystem (GEO OSE)](https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/geo-ose-geosciences-open-science-ecosystem)
+
+## About
+
+GEO OSE seeks to build upon  the POSE solicitation by targeting community building programs specific to the geospace sciences, ocean sciences, Earth sciences, and polar sciences. As per the solicitation:
+
+- Develop and foster adoption of open, inclusive, and equitable research practices across geoscience domains informed by open science principles, including (but not limited to) the FAIR, CARE, and TRUST Principles, as well as Reproducibility and Replicability;
+- Advance transformational and innovative open science approaches that advance geosciences research and education by leveraging and building connections across the existing ecosystem of cyberinfrastructure resources, including data repositories, open-source software communities, and shared computing (e.g., high-performance and cloud computing);
+- Strengthen the capacity of current and future geoscientists to access, utilize, and collaborate within the growing ecosystem of open science resources, and to enable input and participation from the full spectrum of diverse talent that society has to offer which includes underrepresented and under-served communities.
+
+Regarding funding phases, the GEO OSE program offers two tracks:
+
+- Track 1: Supports smaller-scale activities such as open science planning, education, and training initiatives. Projects under this track can have a duration of up to 2 years with a maximum budget of $500,000.
+- Track 2: Supports larger-scale activities aimed at transforming geoscience research communities toward open science practices. Projects under this track can have a duration of up to 3 years with a maximum budget of $1,000,000.
+
+### Estimated number of awards
+
+Total amount: 3-8
+
+Anticipated Funding Amount: $2,000,000 to $4,000,000
+
+Anticipated funding amount is per competition. Estimated program budget, number of awards, and average award size/duration are subject to the availability of funds.
+
+Estimated Award Size and Duration:
+
+Track 1 projects will be 2 years in duration with a maximum budget size of $500,000. Track 2 projects will be 3 years in duration with a maximum budget size of $1,000,000. Specific budgets for Track 1 and Track 2 projects are expected to be commensurate with the size and scope of the project and anticipated scientific impact.

+# [NSF Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE)](https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/pose-pathways-enable-open-source-ecosystems)
+
+## About
+
+POSE is aimed to develop Open Source Ecosystems (OSE) around existing open-source products developed within academia. Those applying should view POSE as a similar pathway of translation of scientific innovation to more sustainable forms. In NSF words:
+
+> POSE constitutes a new pathway to translate scientific innovations, akin to the Lab-to-Market Platform that NSF has pioneered over many decades. Whereas programs like the NSF Innovation Corps (NSF I-Corps™) and America’s Seed Fund [Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)] represent an integrated set of programs to provide researchers with the capacity to transform their fundamental research into deep technology ventures, POSE is specifically focused on another translational pathway – supporting the transition from open-source research artifacts to OSEs.
+
+POSE is **not** meant to fund the development of projects or existing well-resourced ecosystems. This is rather meant to supporting the development of **new OSEs**.
+
+There are two types of POSE proposals:
+
+### Phase I
+
+Phase I proposals should have the following qualities & objectives:
+
+- Small community of external users (but not necessarily contributors)
+- Seeking to develop a plan for community sustainability
+- Seeking to provide training & resources to maintainers and other stakeholders trying to build an OSE
+
+### Phase II
+
+Phase II proposals should have the following qualities & objectives:
+
+- Existing small community of **both** contributors and users.
+- Seeking to execute and deliver upon a detailed project plan (similar to those funded in Phase I) to support the further development and sustainability of the OSE.
+
+Phase II proposals do not necessarily need to have completed or have been funded for Phase I.
+
+### Estimated number of awards
+
+Total: 30 to 50
+
+Approximately 20 Phase I awards of up to $300,000 per award with durations up to 1 year and 10 Phase II awards of up to $1,500,000 per award with durations up to 2 years are anticipated, subject to the availability of funds and quality of proposals received.

+# [NSF Safety, Security, and Privacy of Open-Source Ecosystems (Safe-OSE)](https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/safe-ose-safety-security-privacy-open-source-ecosystems/nsf24-608/solicitation)
+
+## About
+
+Safe-OSE aims to "address  safety, security, and/or privacy vulnerabilities
+proactively in existing, mature OSEs". It encourages submissions which aim to
+address both technical and socio-technical issues within existing mature OSEs.
+Importantly, Safe-OSE is inclusive of all types of OSEs, not limited to
+software-based ones, but also encompassing scientific methodologies,
+manufacturing processes, materials formulations, programming languages,
+hardware instruction sets, system designs, and data platforms.
+
+Proposers are expected to demonstrate a thorough understanding of their OSE's
+threat landscape and provide a realistic plan to mitigate identified risks. The
+goal is to catalyze meaningful improvements that the OSE currently lacks the
+resources to undertake. Proposals should not focus on fundamental research or
+resolving known bugs but rather on strategies that will fundamentally improve
+the OSE's resilience against adverse events over the long term.
+
+Safe-OSE requires the submission of a **preliminary proposal** in order to be
+invited to submit a **full proposal.**
+
+### Preliminary proposal
+
+Preliminary proposals should have the following qualities & objectives (as per the solicitation):
+
+- Describe the current status of the targeted OSE and provide pointers to the OSE managing organization and the public repositories for the open-source product. As the PAPPG does not permit URLs in the Project Description, use the References Cited section of the proposal to identify the appropriate resources.
+- Describe the national/societal/economic impacts of the OSE.
+- Articulate the targeted classes of safety, security, and/or privacy vulnerabilities to be addressed and the broader impacts of addressing them. Discuss, as appropriate, the potential attacks that could take advantage of these vulnerabilities.
+- Briefly describe a development plan to address these vulnerabilities.
+- Briefly describe an evaluation plan to assess the efficacy of the work.
+- Provide information to substantiate compliance with the eligibility requirements.
+
+Preliminary proposals require the above to be up to 5 pages.
+
+### Full Proposals
+
+Full proposals are submitted according to the NSF PAPPG guidelines. Further details can be found on [the solicitation](https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/safe-ose-safety-security-privacy-open-source-ecosystems/nsf24-608/solicitation).
+
+### Estimated number of awards
+
+Total: 10
+
+Each award will be for 24 months. The budget for Year 1 should be up to a maximum of $500,000 and the budget for Year 2 should be up to a maximum of $1,000,000, for a total budget of up to $1,500,000 per award.

CMU already has a history of open source work done by researchers, but hasn't historically had a centrally operating OSPO to help oversee the work going on.
