Hello all -

Curii has received an add-on grant to our existing CZI EOSS grant for working on diversity and inclusion in the CWL Project.

" Common Workflow Language ([Growing a Diverse and Inclusive Workflow Ecosystem with CWL - Chan Zuckerberg Initiative](https://chanzuckerberg.com/eoss/proposals/growing-a-diverse-and-inclusive-workflow-ecosystem-with-cwl/)) is a standard for describing biomedical analysis workflows and enabling reproducible research. The grant will support hiring a community engineer who will provide software engineering to support community members, mentoring internships via Outreachy, and updating code and documentation to make them more user friendly and accessible. \*(Sarah Wait Zaranek at the Curii Corporation)"
