Abstract
On August 2, 2021 a group of concerned scientists and US funding agency and federal government officials met for an informal discussion to explore the value and need for a well-coordinated US Open Research Commons (ORC); an interoperable collection of data and compute resources within both the public and private sectors which are easy to use and accessible to all.
