HELIOS Member Institutions

HELIOS is a community of practice launched as an outcome of discussions convened by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Roundtable on Aligning Incentives for Open Science. At a high level, engagement from colleges and universities has three core components:

  • ● Elevate the development of open incentives and practices as a strategic priority

    ● Designate a high-level presidential representative to coordinate this work on campus and within the NASEM community of practice

    ● Meet regularly with president to review progress

    ● Build timeline for development and implementation of campus open research strategy

  • ● Work with relevant campus units to develop coordinated open activities consistent with both institutional values and disciplinary norms

    ● Collaborate with internal stakeholders to develop appropriate tangible milestones, communication channels, infrastructure, support, resourcing, and accountability mechanisms

  • ● Meet regularly with peers from other institutions to identify areas of shared interest and possible collaboration (e.g., infrastructure, training)

    ● Discuss successes, challenges, and lessons learned

    ● Develop adaptable blueprint for other institutions
