Strategic Partnerships COS has a track record of forming impactful collaborations (e.g., Metascience Alliance, partnerships with TOSI, Grad Resources, and NSF-supported initiatives). Sales opportunities exist in offering enterprise collaboration tools, research data management solutions, and partner ecosystem enablement services to expand open science initiatives.

Open Science Training COS launched Open Scholarship Training for Researchers Series, signaling demand for structured education and credentialing around open practices. A sales angle could include selling LMS-ready course platforms, certification programs, and content licensing to universities, research institutions, and funders seeking scalable training.

Data and FAIR Focus Recent FAIR Signposting work and NSF-backed OSE initiative indicate a priority on data interoperability and open-source ecosystem support. Target opportunities include data curation services, FAIR data tooling, metadata standards consulting, and support contracts around open-source research infrastructure.

Fundraising and Grants COS has attracted grant funding from prominent foundations (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation) and NSF programs, suggesting openness to grant-funded collaborations and technology projects. Sales prospects include grant-writing support, sponsored feature development, and scalable research platforms aligned with funder requirements.

Community and Events Active participation in conferences (Metascience events) and a growing Metascience Alliance indicate a vibrant user and partner community. Opportunities exist for event sponsorships, conference-ready tooling, community management software, and targeted outreach to institutions signaling readiness to adopt open-science solutions.
