Funding

BOSC is primarily funded through registration fees. Occasionally external sponsors, such as Eagle Genomics in 2012-2013, help support keynote speakers, student travel awards, and prizes. Any operational surplus is held in escrow by ISCB to offset future potential losses. OBF, the organization organizing and underwriting BOSC, is a nonprofit with assets held by Software In The Public Interest, Inc., a fiscal sponsorship organization. The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.
