WE ARE MEETING PROJECTED ADOPTION RATES FOR THE OPEN SCIENCE FRAMEWORK (OSF). MOST NOTABLY, THERE ARE 16 OSF-REGISTERED STUDIES IN PRESS OR PUBLISHED, EXCEEDING THE GOAL WE SET OUT TO ACCOMPLISH IN OUR FIRST YEAR OF OPERATIONS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT EARLY INDICATOR AS IT REPRESENTS THE REACH OF OSF REGISTRATIONS INTO THE SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATION RECORD. ANOTHER ACHIEVEMENT WAS ESTABLISHING THE TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT OSF ADD-ONS (LINKING OTHER SERVICES TOGETHER THROUGH THE OSF). COMPLETING THIS RAISES THE POTENTIAL OF THE OSF SUBSTANTIALLY. THE SYSTEM SUPPORTING ADD-ONS IS DESIGNED TO MAKE IT EASY TO ADD THEM MODULARLY. GITHUB WAS THE FIRST RELEASE AS A PROOF-OF-CONCEPT WITH A MATURE SERVICE PROVIDER. ADDITIONAL ADD-ONS CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT INCLUDE: FIGSHARE, ZOTERO, MENDELEY, AMAZON S3, DATAVERSE, OPEN JOURNAL SYSTEM, DURACLOUD, AND SHIBBOLETH. THE ADD-ON INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN ENABLES US TO ASSIGN THESE PROJECTS INDIVIDUALLY TO DEVELOPER INTERNS, MATCHING A CONCRETE PROJECT THAT EXCEEDS THEIR PRESENT SKILL SET 79430 30158 METASCIENCE:TWO MAJOR REPRODUCIBILITY PROJECTS WERE LAUNCHED THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN COS AND OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS. "REPRODUCIBILITY PROJECT: PSYCHOLOGY" LAUNCHED FIRST, AND IS NEARING THE TARGET NUMBER OF 50 REPLICATIONS COMPLETED. "REPRODUCIBILITY PROJECT: CANCER BIOLOGY" LAUNCHED LATER IN 2013, THROUGH A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SCIENCE EXCHANGE NETWORK, AND WILL BEGIN REPLICATIONS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. BOTH PROJECTS HAVE RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT MEDIA AND ACADEMIC COMMUNITY ATTENTION, AND WILL BE MODELS FOR ADDITIONAL REPRODUCIBILITY PROJECTS IN THE FUTURE. A PROJECT FOCUSED ON NEURODEGENERATION IS PRESENTLY IN EARLY PLANNING PHASES. COS ALSO CURRENTLY SUPPORTS "THE ARCHIVAL PROJECT" AND "OSF SCINET". BOTH PROJECTS ARE CROWDSOURCED EFFORTS TO BUILD KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATION RECORD. TO AID IN THE PROMOTION OF OPEN SCIENCE AND REPRODUCIBLE PRACTICES, THE CENTER AWARDED SMALL GRANT AWARDS TO SCIENTISTS AND RESEARCHERS WHO SUBMITTED PROPOSALS FOR "REPLICATIONS OF IMPORTANT RESULTS IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY" AS WELL AS SMALL GRANT REQUESTS FOR HAVING REPRODUCED STUDIES; IN 2013 THE CENTER AWARDED 20 SMALL GRANTS TOTALING $30,158. 114297 COMMUNITY BUILDING:IN 2013 COS MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN COMMUNITY BUILDING WITH TWO GROUPS: (1) OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE COMMUNITY, AND (2) SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH COMMUNITY. IN OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE, COS HAS BEEN A SPONSOR AND/OR PARTICIPANT IN THE PYOHIO, PYTENNESSEE AND PYCON ANNUAL CONFERENCES AS WELL AS LOCAL HACKATHONS AND MEETUPS. COS WORKED TO BUILD A STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL PYLADIES ORGANIZATION TO PROMOTE AN INCLUSIVE PYTHON/OPEN-SOURCE COMMUNITY. TO BUILD A STRONGER COS BRAND AND FOSTER THE OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY, COS IS MAKING REGULAR DONATIONS TO OPEN-SOURCE DEVELOPERS THROUGH A WEB-BASED PATRONAGE PROGRAM CALLED GITTIP. THESE EFFORTS WILL HELP COS MAINTAIN VISIBILITY, GAIN GREATER CREDIBILITY, AND LEAD TO FURTHER STRATEGIC SOFTWARE PARTNERSHIPS AND HIRING OPPORTUNITIES. 489305 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 16 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X THE CENTER 4349641865 210 MCINTIRE ROAD SUITE 500 CHARLOTTESVILLE VA 22902 JEFF SPIES SECRETARY/TREASURER 40.00 X X 79864 0 1304 BRIAN NOSEK PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 74154 0 0 JOSH GREENBERG DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ALAN KRAUT DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN IOANNIDIS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 VICTORIA STODDEN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 154018 0 1304 0 0 0 0 0 1242480 1242480 596 596 OTHER INCOME 900099 176 176 176 1243252 176 0 596 30158 30158 154018 79065 66739 8214 223252 201104 18285 3863 10026 6787 2834 405 20244 14713 4841 690 28762 19495 8109 1158 13217 4648 8569 13899 13899 23471 11933 10384 1154 64695 35582 25878 3235 34647 33562 1085 18440 15883 2244 313 13679 8891 4788 2880 2110 676 94 DUES AND FEES 8259 6050 1939 270 CLEANING AND MAINTENANC 5382 4036 1346 TAXES AND LICENSES 4060 4060 TELEPHONE 1795 987 718 90 846 402 392 52 671730 489305 162887 19538 2131043 6995 242779 13679 229100 6195 0 2373333 16188 125000 1651045 9578 0 1801811 X 571522 0 571522 0 2373333 571522 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1242480 1242480 1242480 1242480 1167894 74586 596 596 1243076 176 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 175841 4352 171489 66938 9327 57611 229100 PAYROLL LIABILITIES 9578 9578 X 1243252 0 1243252 0 1243252 671730 0 671730 0 671730 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION HAS REVIEWED AND EVALUATED THE RELEVANT TECHNICAL MERITS OF EACH OF ITS TAX POSITIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH GUIDANCE ESTABLISHED BY THE FASB AND DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE ORGANIZATION.
