### Center for Open Science Workshop on Reproducible Research
The [Center for Open Science](http://cos.io) ([@OSFramework](https://twitter.com/osframework)) is a Charlottesville, VA-based nonprofit with a mission to "increase openness, integrity, and reproducibility of scientific research."
COS offers a number of free services, including
* Virtual and in-person workshops on reproducible research and good statistical practices
* Individual statistical consulting
* The [Open Science Framework](http://osf.io)
The data event discussions documented here focus on COS's in-person workshops, which typically include content about rigor and reproducibility in scientific research and a hands-on introduction to the Open Science Framework. COS will work with the local host to customize workshop content for the intended audience's expertise and interests.
