Our inaugural call, Open Source for the Life Sciences, drew hundreds of proposals spanning a wide range of biology disciplines and computational approaches. If you use agents or AI models as a scientist, open source software is what makes it possible.

Thank you to the hundreds of teams who submitted letters of intent to our inaugural Open Source for the Life Sciences call. We are energized and inspired by this response. Notifications and invitations to submit full applications are now out. 1/2

Five days left to submit your Letter of Intent for our Open Source for the Life Sciences (OS4LS) call. LOIs are due June 8 at 2pm PDT. Apply at os4science.org/funding_opportunity/os4ls/.
