Open science involves sharing research methods and results throughout the life cycle of a project. The goal of this website is to collect and disseminate information to enable open science practices, specifically for members of the the biomedical research community. All reference materials included here are freely available.
Additional resources and services may be available to labs and projects who receive funding from CZI; please see our CZI grantees page for more information.
Each of the main sections of this site are framed with examples of the general questions we handle when applying open science approaches. If you are looking for general information about open science, we recommend viewing the Resources section first.
