 Excellent. So I took the liberty of framing my presentation around NSF's Year of Open Science because I think it brings together a lot of themes that I think are really being promoted at this current CSTMS meeting. That said, I won't cover every single update that is occurring at NSF, so I am here through Friday. Please feel free to approach me if you have any questions throughout the meeting. I just wanted to begin by introducing myself, as Arena mentioned. I am a program director in the Geoinformatics program, which is in the Division of Earth Sciences. You were correct. The Geoinformatics program, we support cyber infrastructure that includes data capabilities, model and software capabilities, and other cyber capabilities toward the advancement of earth science research and education. Among the things we support includes the CSTMS facility, and we're very pleased to have supported the renewal of CSTMS last year for a five-year period. It's really exciting for me to be here. I've learned about a lot of these new innovations of CSTMS on paper and now actually seeing it in practice through the SBIN, through the clinics, through all these various activities is really exciting to see. So thank you so much for sharing that. And I'll also note, actually the first time I attended the CSTMS meeting was as a student, so it's really interesting to come full circle now as the NSF program manager. Okay, so I'm going to focus on the year of open science. Last year, the White House issued a memo called the Nelson memo, which advances principles of equitable, trustworthy, and collaborative science. And this is across the federal science space. They're not just in the Geo sciences, they're not just NSF. And the memo they issued, which I'll talk about in a subsequent slide, promoted advancements in the public access to articles and research products generated through federally funded research. Following on this memo at the beginning of 2023, the White House declared the federal year of open science. NSF is one of the participants in that. And they provided this definition of open science, which is the principle and practice of making research products and processes available to all, all respecting diverse cultures, maintaining security and privacy, and fostering collaborations, reproducibility and equity. And I'll just note that that seems to be very resonant with a lot of the themes I'm hearing here at the CSTMS meetings. I'm really excited to see the work that's occurring here. From the perspective of the director of Geo sciences NSF in which the Division of Earth Sciences sits, there's also an intellectual interest in open science as a mechanism for increasingly integrative and interdisciplinary approaches to earth system science. Furthermore, you know, we're seeing within research communities, the advancement of these principles for open science is include the fair principles, findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable, the care principles for indigenous data sovereignty, trusted principles for digital repositories and principles of reproducibility and replicability. So with that in mind, there are some ongoing policy changes at NSF, setting some background here in 2013, the Office of Science and Technology Policy issued this memo called the Holdren memo, which directed agencies to develop public access plans toward making peer reviewed articles and digital data available to the public. But this former memo allowed for a one year embargo period, during which researchers could make these products accessible and it focused specifically on publications, there were less strings attached to research data. In response NSF in 2015 published its public access plan, directing that articles from NSF funded research be posted on this NSF public access repository, either as the author accepted manuscript, which is basically the unformatted version of the paper, or the version of record if that paper were publicly accessible on the publisher's website. Then in 2022, OSTP issued this Nelson memo, which I described in opening, which called on agencies to update their public access plans, calls now for immediate free and equitable public access to federally funded research products. And crucially on the paper front calls for a zero embargo period instead of that one year embargo period, as well as the data underlying those articles being immediately accessible at the time of publication. In response, NSF has developed a public access plan 2.0. This plan was submitted to OSTP in February. I actually think the release of the plan is imminent like in the next few days or weeks at the latest. I will note that this plan is simply a blueprint for what will happen in the next few years. There's no immediate policy changes at NSF, but in maybe the next two to three year timeframe, you will see policies changing for NSF grantees. So the infrastructure underlying this public access policy, I mentioned it's this public access repository, version one, which was launched in 2016, focus on the deposit of peer reviewed articles resulting from NSF funded research. In 2021, a new capability was established, allowing PIs on NSF grants to index the data sets resulting from their papers. This is currently an optional functionality, but likely to become more mandated with the new public access plan. We also understand that with these new requirements for public access, there is also the need for infrastructure and support. We had this program last year called the Feros RCNs. It stands for fair principles, findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable, and open science research coordination networks. 10 of these projects were funded. I'll highlight two here, which have a focus in the geosciences. One was on AI readiness, reproducibility and fair principles for applications and machine learning. Another was on fair facilities and instruments. So looking at the fair principles as they relate to use of instrumentation research. We also last year had a dear colleague letter on the principles and practice of reproducibility and replicability in science. There's a QR code here where you can learn more about public access efforts, and at the end I'll blow up the QR code again so you can access that. Another place I'd like to focus now is specifically on the director of geosciences, which includes earth science, atmospheric science, ocean science, and polar science. Our big investment over the past 10 years, with which many of you are probably familiar, is the EarthCube program, which has made significant strides toward increasing interoperability and improving technology across the geosciences for data access. Now we're kind of in the next phase of new funding opportunities. One of those, a dear colleague letter issued, I think it was earlier this year, focuses on applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the geosciences. This is for projects that are submitted through core research programs. We also have this new solicitation, the Geo Open Science Ecosystem, which I'll talk about in the next slide. This is a program that kind of acknowledges all of these various developments in the open science world, the federal year of open science, and seeks to advance several priorities, which includes advancing the openness and scientific value of cyber infrastructure, democratizing access to these capabilities, including via cloud-based approaches, strengthening the capacity of geoscientists to access these resources, and advancing these principles like fair principles, care, trust, reproducibility, etc. I will note that there is a very complicated landscape of funding opportunities at NSF, and I apologize that it's not easier to navigate, you know, part of it just relates to the bureaucracy of how we get things approved. But we are trying to think systematically about how these various funding opportunities fit together. I mentioned this Geo OSC program, which is kind of the linchpin of efforts across the geosciences, but we also have within, if you look at the top left, within the Geosciences Director, we have these core programs like Geo Informatics in the Earth Science Division, we have a Polar Cyber Infrastructure Program in the Polar Science Division. We also have an Office of Advanced Cyber Infrastructure that is kind of more focused on the innovation of new capabilities. So, for example, the CSSI program is what supported the Open Earthscape Project, which is linked to the CSDMS facility. We have these NSF-wide initiatives like the Ferro-Sarc-CNs. We have a new Directorate of Technology, Innovation and Partnerships, which is focused on taking research advancements and translating them into more applied areas, whether that's in business or whether it's in kind of more management applications. And then we acknowledge these efforts across the federal government. Many agencies participating in the Year of Open Science, the NASA Transform to Open Science Initiative, the USGS community for data integration. And so we're increasingly thinking about how all these pieces fit together, but of course, they're not just confusing and so welcome questions at any time. So just a few closing thoughts here, just reiterating how Open Science is now a priority at NSF and across the federal government. We see a big challenge right now. We think we understand the principles that need to be achieved, but how do we put those into practice? And so I think communities like CSDMS are really good for working through those challenges. And again, it's not one single funding opportunity, but it's kind of a constellation of different activities that we hope to move us toward that goal. And so that concludes my talk and I'll just leave you with these QR codes so you can learn more about these funding opportunities on the left, public access initiatives on the right. They're also NSF Year of Open Science bookmarks I put on the table in the lobby if you're interested in having a little swag to take on with you. So thank you. Is there pressing overarching question for Vali on the Year of Open Science and NSF opportunities? Thank you.
