Starting in 2023, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) launched a Year of Open Science with the goal of advancing open, equitable, and secure research. Federal agencies engaged a wide range of communities including students, researchers, universities, private companies, libraries, and foundations. They organized their activities around five key themes: 

Strengthening Open Science Policies 
Investing in Open Science Infrastructures 
Supporting the Research Community in Building Open Science Skills
Engaging Communities to Broaden Participation in Open Science Promoting Incentives for Open Research Practices 

This session brings together representatives from three agencies, the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Department of Energy (DOE), to highlight and discuss their ongoing activities in relation to the Year of Open Science and their roadmaps to enhancing public access to the results of supported research in response to the 2022 White House OSTP Memo (which called for immediate public access to federally funded research results and data). The agencies will also discuss how the community can learn about their open science related activities, stay informed, and engage with them.
