Program overview
This is a professional development and leadership opportunity for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency research groups to explore open data science practices.
Openscapes is an approach for doing better science in less time (Lowndes et al., 2017). We help research groups reimagine data analysis, develop modern skills that are of immediate value to them, and cultivate collaborative and inclusive research communities. Openscapes’ mentorship and community engagement approaches center on open data science as kinder science (Lowndes, 2019), enabling increased efficiency and resilience for teams so that their work has more enduring impact.
Openscapes Champions is a remote-by-design mentorship program for environmental and Earth science research teams to explore open data science practices. Participants attend as a team with their research group in a cohort with other teams, together learning how to reframe data-intensive science as a collaborative effort. By discussing open software tooling and communities enabling reproducible research (e.g. R/Python, GitHub, metadata), participants develop collaborative skills, mindsets, and habits and establish shared practices for increased efficiency in their own research, while contributing to a more inclusive scientific culture.
This opportunity is funded by and coordinated through a contract with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
