### Project Overview


Funded by the Sloan Foundation, "Charting the Course: Policy and Planning for Sustainable Research Software" is a project aimed at reshaping the future of research software within the scholarly community through evidence-informed policy work. This initiative gathers and analyzes data about existing practices and policies, then communicates this crucial information to stakeholders. Building on established planning by [URSSI](/), the project strives to understand why research software policy changes succeed or fail, and leverages these insights to devise and refine future policy strategies for enhanced software sustainability and impact.

This policy work focuses on grasping and altering the sociotechnical landscape of research software to foster beneficial outcomes like software sustainability and improved research, rather than targeting changes at the individual or project level.

The project's work is being carried out in an open and transparent manner, with the aim of encouraging wider community engagement. All outcomes will be openly shared, supporting the on-going development of the sustainable software community.

### Our Approach


"Charting the Course: Policy and Planning for Sustainable Research Software" is a strategic initiative focused on understanding and transforming the sociotechnical landscape of research software for sustainable outcomes. Our goal is to drive policy changes that foster software sustainability and improved research.

Our policy work aims to grasp the nuances of the research software landscape and enact changes that lead to beneficial outcomes. Through evidence-based strategies, we're striving to improve software sustainability and impact in the research community.

This project is built upon the established planning of the [URSSI](https://urssi.us/about), furthering its vision for software sustainability and impact.

We're gathering and analyzing data about existing practices and policies, examining why certain research software policy changes succeed or fail.
Our findings will inform future policy strategies for sustainable research software. Check back here for updates and publications related to our findings.

Our project’s targeted outcomes extend beyond traditional academic outputs. We aim to effect tangible policy changes, informed by our research. The objective is to initiate policy shifts that make a real difference to the sustainability and impact of research software. Our approach ensures that we learn from past successes and failures, making our policy work evidence-informed and strategic.

## Research Goals

The ultimate aim of our research is to contribute to a more sustainable and impactful future for research software. This goal informs the type of outcomes we aim to achieve and share.

## Findings

We are committed to open and transparent communication of our outcomes. We will openly share all findings, not only in academic circles but also to the wider community. This is integral to our mission of fostering the sustainable software community.

## Data

Our data practices are rooted in principles of openness and transparency. We will share information about the data we collect, how it is analyzed, and how it informs our research process and outcomes.
We will also share our raw and processed data sets wherever possible, enabling others in the community to examine, reuse, and build upon our work. This aligns with our commitment to openness and our belief in the power of collective intelligence to drive change and innovation.
In all of this, we are mindful of ethical considerations, ensuring that all data is collected and used with consent and respect for privacy.
As our project progresses, more details about our data will be shared here. Check back regularly for updates on our data practices and findings.
