Support Our Work

The Open Research Community Accelerator (ORCA) nurtures cross-sector coalitions to tackle the systems-level challenges that are impeding the adoption of open science at scale. We work with works with communities across the research ecosystem to make science more engaging, accessible, and actionable. 

We are committed to this effort because a more intentional approach to science is a critical component of a more just society. Open science encourages the engagement of diverse voices, perspectives, and expertise. As we face existential global challenges like climate change and pandemics, open science is a critical tool to ensure that both research processes and outcomes are more inclusive, and, by extension, more innovative, efficient, transparent, and trustworthy.
