Open Science Prize

This post originally appeared on the Software Carpentry website.

The Wellcome Trust and National Institutes of Health have launched a global science competition for new products or services to advance open science. Up to six teams stand to win US$80,000 each to develop their ideas into a prototype or to advance an existing early stage prototype. The prototype judged to have the greatest potential to further open science will receive $230,000. For more information, see the announcements on the Wellcome site and from the NIH, or visit the prize website.
