Status: Ongoing
Project Duration: January 2025 - January 2026
Team members: Katherine Skinner, Chrys Wu, Lauren Collister, Sarah Lippincott.
Overview
IOI, with financial support from the Digital Infrastructure Insights Fund, is conducting research that explores how applicable and useful community health frameworks such as CHAOSS, FOREST, and POSI are in incentivizing investment and adoption of open infrastructure for research.
The project aims to identify common health measures or methods that can help align stakeholders — funders, adopters, open infrastructure service providers, and others — in their investments in advancing the health and resilience of the open infrastructure ecosystem. This project is driven by our commitment to supporting the development of a healthy, resilient ecosystem of open infrastructure for research and scholarship. By working with diverse stakeholders within the open infrastructure landscape to examine and co-develop community health measures, we aim to align and coordinate stakeholders in driving more informed, strategic, and coordinated investments in and adoption of open infrastructure.
