OA.Works' receives grant from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

We’re excited to say OA.Works has received a one-year grant of 100k from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to continue developing OA.Report. This investment builds on our partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to enable more organizations to use OA.Report to discover, analyze, and unlock papers covered by OA policies or supported by their funding and staff.

"The Open Access policy at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is critical to our mission because we believe that the research we fund can play a key role in establishing the evidence base for a Culture of Health and improving health, well-being, and equity in America.” said Leia Carey, Research Associate at RWJF, “We are excited to support OA.Works in solving challenges associated with tracking peer-reviewed publications and overall policy compliance for us and others."

RWJF’s support of OA.report will enable us to work with RWJF to trial the tool, and use that experience to make improvements that support it’s use for other funders and libraries. As a part of the project, we’ll analyze the Foundation’s Open Access policy, import existing data from their repository of grant outputs, and measure the impact of their publications.

We want to thank Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for their generous support.
