The Better Scientific Software (BSSw) Fellowship Program recognizes and promotes leaders and advocates of high-quality software who foster practices, processes, and tools that help to improve scientific productivity and software sustainability. Each selected 2025 BSSw Fellow will receive up to $25,000 for an activity that promotes better scientific software. Activities can include organizing a workshop, preparing a tutorial, or creating content to engage the scientific software community, including broadening participation or promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Application Deadline: Applications for the 2025 BSSw Fellowship are being accepted through September 30, 2024. Those interested in applying are encouraged to participate in an informational fellowship webinar and Q&A session, scheduled for Tuesday, September 10, 2024, 2:00-3:00 pm EDT. Please subscribe to our mailing list for teleconference details and other updates on the program.
