The Better Scientific Software (BSSw) Fellowship program fosters and promotes practices, processes and tools to improve developer productivity and software sustainability of scientific codes. Each 2026 BSSw Fellow will receive up to $25,000 for an activity that promotes better scientific software through a publicly available artifact. Activities can include organizing a workshop, preparing a tutorial, or creating content to engage the scientific software community. 

We encourage applicants at all career stages, ranging from students through early-career, mid-career, and senior professionals. The application deadline for the fellowship program is Friday, October 31, and will not be extended. Learn more about this opportunity and apply here.
