The POSE program solicitation seeks two types of proposals: teams propose specific activities to scope and plan the establishment of an OSE (Phase I for 1 year and up to $300,000 per project), or establish a sustainable OSE based on a robust open-source product
 that shows promise in its ability to both meet an emergent societal or economic need and build a community to help develop it (Phase II for 2 years and up to $1.5 million per project).<o:p></o:p></p>

“This program will ensure more secure open-source products, increased coordination of developer contributions, and a more focused route to impactful technologies,” said Barry Johnson, division director for the Division of Translational Impacts within TIP.<o:p></o:p></p>

Launched by NSF’s Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships, or TIP, and in collaboration with all of NSF’s other directorates, the POSE program constitutes a pathway to translate scientific and engineering innovations. The program supports managing
 organizations that will facilitate the creation and growth of sustainable high-impact OSEs around already-developed open-source products, many of which are the result of prior NSF-funded research.<o:p></o:p></p>
