“The form 990 is prepared by an independent tax accountant and reviewed by management; adjustments are made, as necessary. A complete copy of the form 990 is made available to all members of the governing body prior to filing with the internal revenue service.”
“All members of the board of directors, officers, and key employes are required to disclose significant financial interests that are related to each individuals' responsibilities to the organization on an annual basis; all forms are submitted to the institutional official or designee by december 31 for the previous calendar year. If the disclosure form reveals a significant financial interest, it is reviewed promptly by the institutional official or designee for a determination of whether it constitutes a financial conflict of interest. If a financial conflict of interest exists, the institutional official takes action to manage the financial conflict of interest, including the reduction or elimination of the conflict, as appropriate. The conflicted individual is not allowed to participate in the decision or deliberation in regards to any transaction in which they hold a financial conflict of interest.”
“Compensation for all officers and key employees is determined by the board of directors, who uses benchmarking data and other publicly available comparability data for similarly situated employees at similar organizations in similar geographic regions in making this determination.”
“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

THE ALLIANCE SERVES AS A COLLABORATIVE HUB CONNECTING RESEARCHERS, FUNDERS, INSTITUTIONS, PUBLISHERS, POLICYMAKERS, INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDERS, AND OTHERS WORKING TO STRENGTHEN THE SCIENTIFIC ECOSYSTEM.THE ALLIANCE FOCUSES ON: (I) BUILDING COALITIONS THROUGH CONVENINGS, NETWORKING EVENTS, AND RESOURCES THAT CONNECT COMMUNITIES ACROSS DISCIPLINES AND SECTORS; (II) STRENGTHENING THE WORKFORCE BY SUPPORTING NEW CAREER PATHWAYS, OFFERING CROSS-SECTOR TRAINING, AND LAUNCHING PROGRAMS FOR POSTDOCTORAL AND EARLY-CAREER INNOVATORS; (III) ENABLING MATCHMAKING AMONG RESEARCHERS, FUNDERS, AND INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDERS TO DESIGN COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS; AND (IV) ALIGNING AND AMPLIFYING METASCIENCE EFFORTS TO REDUCE DUPLICATION AND ACCELERATE SHARED PROGRESS.COS ALSO CONTINUED TO ADVANCE ITS OWN METASCIENCE RESEARCH THROUGH PROJECTS SUCH AS THE OPEN SCHOLARSHIP SURVEY (OSS) AND PILOT INITIATIVES INCLUDING BENCHMARKING LLM AGENTS ON SCIENTIFIC TASKS, SMART: SCALING MACHINE ASSESSMENTS OF RESEARCH TRUSTWORTHINESS, AND THE REGISTERED REVISIONS PROJECT, WHICH EVALUATES INNOVATIONS IN PEER REVIEW.THE OPEN SCHOLARSHIP SURVEY (OSS) IS A STANDARDIZED, MODULAR TOOL USED TO ASSESS RESEARCHER ATTITUDES, BEHAVIORS, AND PERCEPTIONS REGARDING OPEN SCHOLARSHIP. IT IDENTIFIES KEY "GAPS"-- BETWEEN ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS, PERCEPTIONS AND NORMS, AND BARRIERS TO ADOPTION--THAT INFORM TARGETED INTERVENTIONS SUCH AS TRAINING AND INCENTIVE REFORM.
