Facilitating Knowledge Exchange
ORFG offers opportunities for members to learn about advances in open research policies and practices from policy makers, higher education, institutions, global organizations and initiatives, and more. Members also receive news roundups germane to their interests in philanthropy and open research and scholarly outputs.
Extending Influence
Aligning funding priorities is of keen interest to ORFG Members. As such, ORFG facilitates and supports these efforts. ORFG also supports members in engaging the public to share funders’ perspectives and goals, as well as to learn from the public’s interests and knowledge.
Providing Community
The ORFG fosters partnerships and collaborations with related coalitions and groups such as the National Academics Roundtable on Aligning Incentives for Open Scholarship, HELIOS Open, and ICOR. ORFG members are also welcome to participate in “deep dive” subgroups that explore and examine issues such as open infrastructure.
