Open source software is crucial to modern scientific research, advancing biology and medicine while providing reproducibility and transparency. Yet even the most widely-used research software often lacks dedicated funding. CZI’s Essential Open Source Software for Science program supports software maintenance, growth, development, and community engagement for critical open source tools.
## Overview

## Eligibility Criteria

A core pillar of CZI’s mission is **supporting open science and open source software** initiatives that drive innovation in **biomedical and computational research**.

We welcome applications from any country, provided the proposed work is compliant with the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) sanctions program.
Applications may be submitted by non-profit and for-profit organizations, public and private institutions, such as colleges, universities, hospitals, laboratories, units of state and local government, companies, and eligible agencies of the federal government.

Why this change?

I encountered a lint error due to a dead link: https://foundation.mozilla.org/. After checking the website, I found that it resolves to https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/, so I updated the link accordingly, which cleared the lint errors.
