Sharing from Bluesky: Today we're launching the Open Source for Science Fund, a new multi-donor philanthropic fund by Renaissance Philanthropy, seeded by Biohub and Wellcome Trust, with support from the Kavli Foundation and @researchsoft https://os4science.org/news/open-source-for-science-fund-launch/ From imaging the universe to modeling life at the molecular scale, science is built on open source software maintained by scientific communities. That infrastructure is systemically underfunded and not yet designed for AI-native use. Our inaugural call, "Open Source for the Life Sciences," is seeking proposals from software maintainers whose work supports data-intensive research and AI-driven discovery in the life sciences. Two tracks: up to $250K for domain-specific tools, up to $1M for foundational libraries. If you build the tools science runs on, we want to hear from you. https://os4science.org
