Open Science
Open Science is the movement to make scientific research and its dissemination accessible to all. The Focused Ultrasound Foundation’s top priority is accelerating the development and adoption of this revolutionary medical technology, and we believe that advances in our understanding of focused ultrasound come most quickly when research is conducted transparently.

Open Science Requirements for Funded Researchers
The Foundation strongly encourages the use of open data practices to advance understanding and progress in the focused ultrasound research ecosystem. Accordingly, data repositories are envisioned to be rich environments where researchers can go to absorb existing scientific knowledge and find inspiration for future research directions. We believe data sharing benefits all stakeholders, as well as the broader public, and are committed to supporting it however possible. Read More.
