The Week in Review is our weekly roundup of what’s new in open science from the past week. If you have news or announcements you’d like passed on to the community, be sure to share on Twitter with @mozillascience and @billdoesphysics, or join our mailing list and get in touch there.

Grants & Funding

• Applications are currently open for two grants from the Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in Social Science (BITSS): Grants for Social Science Meta Analysis and Research Transparency (SSMART) for up to $30,000 USD (closing September 6), and the Leamer-Rosenthal Prizes for Open Social Science for up to $15,000 USD (closing September 30).
• The Center for Open Science has added many more grant opportunities for developers interested in helping connect a long list of open science services and tools to the Open Science Framework. Grant amounts are open to negotiation.

Projects & Research

• Laura Norén is calling for comments on a proposed scheme for software citation in astronomy; join the conversation under the #astroware hashtag on Twitter.
• The European Commission’s Joint Research Council is studying how citizen science projects manage their data; if you are involved in running a citizen science project, get involved by filling out this survey.
• Juan Julián Merelo-Guervós & Pablo García-Sánchez are conducting an experiment in browser-based evolutionary computation; upon visiting their experiment’s web page, the visitor’s browser begins modeling chromosome mutation and reporting a subset of results back to the study.
• Robert Kaplan & Veronica Irvin found in a recent review of cardiovascular research that reported null results have significantly increased since 2000; the authors report a strong correlation between null result reporting and study pre-registration.

Blogs & Articles

• Derek Groen and Ben Calderhead wrote an article on Science Hackathons as a vehicle for increasing visibility and connectedness of research for early career scientists. Their article contains a complete sketch of the life-cycle of running a Science Hackathon, from planning to maintaining momentum afterwards.
• BMC Biology editor Emma Saxon began a series on producing quality figures for papers to improve research transparency and reproducibility. This editorial series comes on the heels of the creation of a Minimum Standards of Reporting checklist submitting authors are now required to fill out, in order to help raise the standard of completeness and transparency in reporting.
• Nature printed an article describing the recent movement in open personal health data, including efforts from projects like Open Humans and American Gut, to overcome technical and privacy hurdles in the space and create a framework for data sharing.

At the Science Lab

• Fellowship applications for the Science Lab are due this Friday, August 14! Get yours in right away.
• Proposals for Mozilla Festival 2015 are due on August 31! The Science track will be running a sprint, a series of trainings and more this year; see the details here, and consider proposing a session and joining us in London this November. Also, please join us for a MozFest Proposal Q & A session this Tuesday, August 11, for your chance to ask questions on how you can get involved; see this etherpad for details.
• Two projects at the Lab need your input: the Working Open Guide, a how-to manual on running an open source, open science project; and the Open Science Utility Belt, a semester-long workshop series on the basic skills needed to start participating in open science. Both projects are eagerly awaiting your comments!
