We are excited to share that OSCLIP has been awarded the Lyrasis Catalyst Fund to continue with the momentum of our ongoing projects, allow pilot testing of project outcomes, and support members of project teams to present at conferences and meetings. This is an important step toward scaling the impacts of our work and strengthening our community.
"As our four inaugural projects of the Open Science Collaborative of Library and Information Professionals (OSCLIP) reach final stages, this grant will catalyze their transition from prototypes to community-validated resources. Through a pilot-testing process guided by design thinking and a culminating meeting, we will scale our knowledge base and advocacy and competency toolkits across ~100 institutions to build a collective voice for library and information professionals."
Please see the award announcement and our OSF repository for the full proposal. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed, for your enthusiasm, ideas, feedback, participation. More details will be forthcoming. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments!
