Future Project: Petitioning the NSF to set goals and guidelines for funded projects to be accessible online:

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency that supports fundamental research and education across all fields of science and engineering. In fiscal year (FY) 2015, its budget is $7.3 billion. NSF funds reach all 50 states through grants to nearly 2,000 colleges, universities and other institutions. Each year, NSF receives about 48,000 competitive proposals for funding, and makes about 11,000 new funding awards. NSF also awards about $626 million in professional and service contracts yearly...

The National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other major government funding institutions could make a major difference, a 'quantum leap' in effect to multiply the results of pure research and applied research/technology transfer by improving open source validation.

Requiring and funding a centralized database to house research information, which would include code (as with the 'Tree of Life' NSF-funded 'open source' project), will bring substantive return-on-investment for all government funded research.
