In Phases 1 (Prepare) and 2 (Deploy) we developed an understanding of the state of the nation of research software, its developers/users, its requirements, and how software is changing the way research is conducted. Building on our experience and expert understanding, Phase 3 (Expand) will focus on the creation of sustainable and self-supporting communities of practice to empower cultural change that enables better practice to be widely adopted to: foster a culture of sharing expertise and enabling; integrate project consultancy, training and awareness raising to effect and support change; move from local and individual actions to national and community level effects. Our goal is that the UK research community be enabled to take full advantage of software and, in doing so, to support the conduct of excellent research. Our objectives are:A) Widespread adoption of research best practice: agreeing and defining best practice with reference to research software, and enabling its widespread adoption to ensure the reliability and reproducibility of modern research. Enabling development of models and blueprints for initiating, nurturing and maturing communities of practice, enhancing our status in the UK and internationally as the go-to institution for insight into research software matters and catalysing new international collaborations.B) Cutting-edge policy and guidance: collaborating with stakeholders to create and disseminate evidence-based guidance, infrastructure, policies and tools. This leads to improved reusability of research software and its associated research outputs.C) A capable research community: based on a sustainable and scalable community-led model that will push the boundaries of knowledge across domains to maintain excellence and drive innovation and career paths, to increase the recognition of research software. Supporting collaboration in the UK research society and helping it become more resilient and sustainable will achieve an increased social and cultural impact.D) An open evidence bank: identifying and generating datasets, conducting analysis to provide insight and evidence of the importance of software, people and practices. This enables costing of resources required to develop, maintain and preserve research software.To achieve these goals, we will be:1) Raising awareness: empower and develop a cohort of ambassadors for good practice through our Fellowship; outreach to stakeholders at all levels on research software issues; to deliver adoption of best practice.2) Seeding change: build multiple sustainable Communities of Practice (CoP): for research domains, for techniques, for stakeholder groups, for UK institutions; set up expert panels that commission topic-based programmes of workshops, policy studies and outreach; nurture and scale existing CoPs e.g. through RSE exchanges; develop tools and services to support CoPs; to guarantee the widespread adoption of research best practice.3) Providing expertise: create regional training hubs to continue growth of provision; commission new courses; refocus open call consultancy; conduct feasibility study for an RSE brokerage; to form a capable research community.4) Influencing policy: publish new guidance and standards; work with international collaborators to put policy into practice; conduct research that improves understanding of research software; to deliver cutting-edge policy and guidance and build an open evidence bank.

在第 1 阶段（准备）和第 2 阶段（部署）中，我们了解了研究软件的国家状况、其开发人员/用户、其需求以及软件如何改变研究的进行方式。基于我们的经验和专家理解，第三阶段（扩展）将侧重于创建可持续和自给自足的实践社区，以促进文化变革，从而使更好的实践得到广泛采用，以：培养分享专业知识和赋能的文化；整合项目咨询、培训和意识提升，以实现和支持变革；从地方和个人行动转向国家和社区层面的影响。我们的目标是使英国研究界能够充分利用软件，并在此过程中支持优秀研究的开展。我们的目标是：A) 广泛采用研究最佳实践：参考研究软件商定和定义最佳实践，并使其广泛采用，以确保现代研究的可靠性和可重复性。促进模型和蓝图的开发，以启动、培育和成熟实践社区，提高我们在英国和国际上作为洞察研究软件问题和促进新的国际合作的首选机构的地位。B) 前沿政策和指导：与利益相关者合作，创建和传播基于证据的指导、基础设施、政策和工具。这提高了研究软件及其相关研究成果的可重用性。C) 一个有能力的研究社区：基于可持续且可扩展的社区主导模型，该模型将突破跨领域知识的界限，以保持卓越并推动创新和职业道路，提高研究软件的认可度。支持英国研究学会的合作并帮助其变得更具弹性和可持续性，将实现更大的社会和文化影响。D) 开放证据库：识别和生成数据集，进行分析以提供软件、人员重要性的见解和证据和实践。这使得能够计算开发、维护和保存研究软件所需的资源成本。为了实现这些目标，我们将：1) 提高认识：通过我们的奖学金授权并培养一批良好实践大使；就研究软件问题向各级利益相关者进行宣传； 2) 播种变革：建立多个可持续的实践社区 (CoP)：针对研究领域、针对技术、针对利益相关群体、针对英国机构；设立专家小组，委托开展基于主题的研讨会、政策研究和外联方案；培养和扩大现有的 CoP，例如通过 RSE 交易所；开发工具和服务来支持 CoP；确保研究最佳实践得到广泛采用。3) 提供专业知识：创建区域培训中心以继续增加提供；委托开设新课程；重新聚焦公开征集咨询；开展 RSE 经纪业务的可行性研究；形成一个有能力的研究团体。4）影响政策：发布新的指导和标准；与国际合作者合作，将政策付诸实践；进行研究以提高对研究软件的理解；提供前沿政策和指导并建立开放的证据库。
