COS submitted a public comment opposing proposed revisions in OMB’s Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance. We join 300+ orgs requesting an extension to the comment period. Request is yet to be granted; comment period closes July 13. Read our concerns & add your voice:

I've been consistently impressed by the moral clarity and steadfastness of the Center for Open Science team in the past 18 months, as the administration has sought to co-opt the policies they advocate as cudgels for politicization of science. Thank you!

"Federal research funding has produced exceptional returns precisely because decisions about what to fund have rested on merit and independent expert judgment, rather than political alignment." @webmz.bsky.social comments on OMB's proposal rule for @cos.io www.cos.io/blog/what-om...

📢 APPLICATIONS OPEN: LMU Open Science Summer School. Deadline: July 6 Hybrid program with two tracks for early-career researchers: build practical open science skills or learn to teach open science. Keynote speakers include COS Senior Director of Research Tim Errington.

Last fall, COS announced an initiative that systematically evaluates how well LLM agents can perform & reason through the research lifecycle. The first active phase produced ReplicatorBench—a benchmark for evaluating LLM agents on replication in social & behavioral sciences.

#OpenScience news we're excited about📣🧵 1️⃣New TOP 2025 Journal Implementation Guidance @cos.io released guidance to help journals align with updated TOP 2025 Guidelines. The resource introduces new transparency practices & clearer expectations for sharing & verifying research outputs.

New article in Nature about Big Team Science with lots of quotes from CONNECT members! @manybabies.org @themanybirds.bsky.social @manydogsproject.bsky.social @cos.io

Join us on June 11th for an online conversation focusing rigor as a practical and learned skill: making defensible, transparent decisions when resources are finite. How sound methodology, careful inference, and clear reporting operate when tradeoffs are unavoidable. RSVP 👉️ bit.ly/4vj8tAB

Collective action is the most gratifying part of the reform movement. Grassroots groups like the many Many Manys are the most wonderful manifestation of it. Driven by curiosity and purpose, researchers come together to solve big problems with creative collaborations. That's why I science.

The online courses from @cos.io were developed to help researchers build practical skills across the research lifecycle and provide them with everything they need to practice open scholarship effectively. 👉 Enroll: https://bit.ly/4xaXefi 👉 TWCF’s approach to Open Research: https://bit.ly/4uc2soc

In a recent interview with APS, @briannosek.bsky.social of @cos.io shared the big takeaways from the SCORE program, how evidence from the program contradicts the 2025 “Restoring Gold Standard Science” executive order, and his vision for a more trustworthy scientific landscape.

The submission portal for #AIMOS2026 is now open. Submit your lightning talks, discussion groups hackathons, and workshops now. www.aimos2026.org/submit

The Ideology 2.0 dataset is now publicly accessible. 280,000 unique sessions, ~40 implicit measures, ~30 self-report items on the same topics as the implicit measures, 25 individual difference questionnaires, and dozens of individual self-report items. More: osf.io/2483h/overview

* It's unclear whether the comments will be posted publicly, so consider uploading yours to a repository. @cos.io has been uploading ours to MetaArXiv (you can see our past comments here: osf.io/qr6jz/overview), but you could use others like Zenodo. That way you have a DOI you can share publicly.

You DO NOT have to be a policy professional to submit a comment. Your voice matters, so please make it heard. A few logistical tips on the comment itself: * It's hard to figure out where you're supposed to comment, so a quick link to submit your comment is here 👉 www.regulations.gov/commenton/OM...

The proposed regulation is now open for public comment through July 13th. Public comment is an important tool to share your expertise, your concerns, and ensure they are in the public record.

There's been a lot of chatter about proposed updates to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Federal Financial Assistance Rule, which is, to put it bluntly: destructive to the integrity of federally supported research. 🧵 thread...

Exciting news! Nature is expanding Registered Reports across all the fields in which it publishes—a move that advances science toward greater rigor and transparency, and helps normalize and broaden adoption of RR. 🔬 Read more in their editorial:

The updated TOP 2025 guidelines offer a framework for journals and publishers that previously adopted TOP to reassess alignment with current open science expectations, and for those not yet using TOP to consider its value in shaping policy. 🆕 resource on updating policies:

BREAKING: New proposed OMB regulation, applying to all federal grants, requiring grant reviews by senior political appointees and re-emphasizes that "peer review remains advisory and does not replace agency discretion". #standupforscience public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-10817.pdf

This is a welcome and important step to normalize and popularize the use of Registered Reports. Thanks @magdalenaskipper.bsky.social for your leadership, and for the work of the neuroscience and behavioral research editors to test and validate the model at Nature.

👏 MIT's Graduate Student Council passed a resolution calling for: ✅️"adoption of preprints and other innovative scholar communication methods," ✅️a healthier, more open-access, and less journal-focused system, ✅️improvements to the way researchers are evaluated.

Funding metadata is still inconsistent, incomplete, and often missing. That affects how we track, evaluate, and understand research. New outputs from @barcelonadori.bsky.social: 👉 Call to Action: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... 👉 Detailed recommendations: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...
