The Center for Open Science partners with institutions to provide a suite of researcher and administrative features built on the OSF infrastructure to help researchers manage, collaborate and share their work. We provide training and guide resources to enable researchers in transparent, open, and reproducible workflows, and collaborate with institutional staff to overcome challenges and showcase the open and reproducible outputs contributed by their research community. You can focus on generating and sharing research and let OSF Institutions handle the infrastructure. ## Adoption of OSF for institutions ## OSF for Institutions aims to improve research data management workflows for researchers. The OSF streamlines the research workflow and increases users’ ability to: - Organize project materials and data - Be transparent about research and methods - Collaborate at all levels of a project within the institution and with outside collaborators. - Link all related data and materials - Conveniently share and make parts or whole projects public, and simultaneously retain security and privacy of projec elements that are not shareable because of ethical or proprietary considerations. - Archive and cite projects easily. ## Additional Collaboration ## Additional areas of potential collaboration can enhance the engagement of OSF users at your organization and create a more seamless experience. These options include: - Workshops to engage the research community at your institution on improving openness and reproducibility of research. - A custom URL to integrate OSF within your university's online presence - Connect repositories with OSF for interoperability across systems - Research culture survey at your institution # OSFI Membership Benefits - Branded discovery page - Dedicated project manager - SSO Additional benefits are available at different membership levels or for additional fees: - Insights dashboard - Training - Integration development - Custom domain See the page at [cos.io/products/osf-institutions][3] for more details. ---------- # OSFI Product and Service Resources # If you are interested in finding out more about OSF Institutions, you can find resources in this component in the [Files section][4].
