Potential Activity Scope
Create informational materials such as guidelines on how to set up an organizational chapter, align it with local activities, and manage and evaluate it effectively.
Develop a handbook, tools, templates and best practices to support local chapter organizers.
Potential Objectives
Reduce barrier to entry for starting up a local organization focusing on research software professionals
Improve the quality of organizational structures for chapters focusing on research software.
Targeted Impacts
Build up capacity, community structures and status of research software as a core aspect of contemporary research.
More organizational chapters will be established because the barrier to entry has been reduced.
The organizational chapters established will be more sustainable because they are built on strong foundations.
This potential activity was curated as part of "Charting the Course: Policy and Planning for Sustainable Research Software," a Sloan Foundation-funded project within URSSI dedicated to supporting the future of research software through evidence-informed policy work (Project contacts are: @danielskatz and @dr-eric-jensen).
