The Center bestows awards each year to recognize accomplishments in the community, in 4 categories:
- The Open Science Champion Prize seeks to recognize established faculty members who have led or significantly contributed to their field’s movement towards transparent and reproducible research practices. Recipients will have a demonstrated commitment to furthering the adoption of these practices, as well as a commitment to an open and inclusive research community.
- The Open Science Innovator Prize is awarded to research trainees who have demonstrated a commitment to furthering transparent and reproducible science practices. This could include, for example: sharing research objects, nurturing an open and inclusive research community, or developing open science software.
- The Stanford Open Source Software Prize is awarded by our OSPO, OpenSource@Stanford, to project teams that make noteworthy contributions to the advancement of open source software development as scholarly work, demonstrate expertise and significant impact on research in its field, and act as an exemplary model of open source best practices.

- The Stanford University Libraries Data Sharing Prizes (awarded by SUL) recognize outstanding examples of impactful data sharing. Eligible recipients will have demonstrated consideration of reproducibility and reuse when sharing data in appropriate online data repositories, including the Stanford Digital Repository.
