Many people think that scientists, private companies, and governments should share their activities with the public. The activities involved with this sharing are called “open work.” Working openly helps people learn from each other, keep track of what other people are doing, and check each other’s work. Not much is known about the best ways for people to work openly. To learn more about how open work can contribute to the Nation’s interests, the Interdisciplinary Open Practices Workshop (IOP Workshop) brings together researchers from different fields of science, private companies, and government. Workshop participants work together to figure out what is known and to plan projects to determine what is not known about open practices and how they can be used. This project produces a final report that provides information to scientists, leaders, and workers about the benefits of open work and how open work can benefit the progress of science and technology. The goals of the IOP Workshop are to learn which open practices work better than others and under what circumstances those practices work best. In the workshop, researchers present information about how open work happens in different fields: open science, open source software, open government, open education, open source intelligence, and others. Presentations by open work experts and students and working group discussions demonstrate current trends and explore new research topics. Experts also discuss new science on open work (also called “open organizing”). This new science shows how people who work openly can make decisions about how transparent they want to be and decide who will be permitted to make decisions in their groups. These decisions include determining how people from different backgrounds will be included and how easy it should be for other people to reproduce their work. Finally, researchers share datasets with each other to spark new ideas and collaborations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

许多人认为科学家，私人公司和政府应该与公众分享其活动。此共享涉及的活动称为“开放工作”。公开工作可以帮助人们互相学习，跟踪别人在做什么，并检查彼此的工作。关于人们公开工作的最佳方法知之甚少。为了更多地了解开放工作如何促进国家利益的贡献，跨学科的开放实践研讨会（IOP研讨会）将来自不同科学，私人公司和政府的研究人员汇集在一起​​。研讨会参与者共同努力，弄清楚什么已知并计划项目，以确定有关开放式实践以及如何使用的知识。该项目制作了一份最终报告，向科学家，领导者和工人提供有关开放工作的好处以及开放式工作如何使科学和技术进步有益的信息。 IOP研讨会的目标是学习哪种开放式实践比其他实践更好，在什么情况下，这些实践最有效。在研讨会中，研究人员介绍了有关开放工作如何在不同领域发生的信息：开放科学，开源软件，开放政府，开放教育，开源智能等。开放工作专家和学生以及工作组讨论的演讲展示了当前的趋势并探讨了新的研究主题。专家还讨论有关开放工作的新科学（也称为“开放组织”）。这项新科学表明，公开工作的人如何决定自己想要成为多么透明的人，并决定谁将被允许在他们的小组中做出决定。这些决定包括确定如何包括来自不同背景的人，以及其他人重复工作的容易。最后，研究人员彼此共享数据集以激发新的想法和合作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估，被认为是珍贵的支持。
