HRA’s Exploring the Value of “Open” (EVO) Program

Is “Open Science” just the latest fad or is it really an important tool to advance discovery? If you are unsure, OR if you sincerely believe open science can advance discovery but need help implementing policies to facilitate open science, the EVO program is for you.

HRA’s Open Science Community is sponsoring a one-year Exploring the Value of Open (EVO) Program with monthly webinar sessions, discussion groups, and opportunities to explore whether open science policies, compliance tools, and metrics are appropriate for your organization, and can help achieve your mission.

The EVO program will cover not only the why, but also the how, and ways to measure impact of open research policies, practices, and incentives. The Program will be led by Kristen Ratan (Stratos), and the Open Science Community cochairs, Anna Greene (DTRF) and Salvatore La Rosa (CTF). It will include invited speakers, demonstrations, lively discussions, trials of technologies and services, and development of resources, if needed. We will work with cohorts with similar ambitions and challenges to help organizations reach their own open goals.

EVO Program Launch

The EVO Program launch webinar will cover the “what” of open science – open access publishing, the “FAIR” principles, data sharing, etc. Subsequent webinars will cover the “how.” How to develop and implement policies, but also tools to track compliance and measure impact.

Value of ORCID for Funders

We will follow the launch webinar with a webinar on September 13th at 2pm ET to discuss the “Value of ORCID for funders,” led by a team from the ORCID US Community consortium. We will also hear a brief presentation from open researcher, Gary McDowell who will discuss using ORCID to track awardees.
