Open research in life science: funding foundational tools, trust, and talent

" summary

Describes Wellcome Trust Data for Science and Health’s five-year, £75M program to fund and incentivise open research software and related activities (community management, accessibility, maintenance, UX) so computational researchers’ code is recognised alongside traditional papers. Names the problem that academic credit systems favour papers/citations over code, risks unverifiable results, and positions open code, tooling and trust as fundable research infrastructure.
