<a href="https://beta.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/geosciences-open-science-ecosystem-geo-ose">
Geosciences Open Science Ecosystem (GEO OSE)</a>. The GEO OSE program seeks to realize the benefits of open science practices toward advancing research and education in the geosciences. To achieve this vision, the GEO OSE program encourages efforts to foster
adoption of open, inclusive, and equitable scientific practices across geoscience domains. The program supports development of innovative open science approaches that advance geosciences research and education through leveraging expanding information resources
and computing capabilities. The program also supports initiatives to strengthen the capacity of current and future geoscientists to access, utilize, and collaborate within the growing ecosystem of open science resources.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
