The US Research Software Engineer Association
The US Research Software Engineer Association (US-RSE) is the leading professional community of research software engineering practitioners in the United States. US-RSE's four-pronged mission aims to foster community, promote RSEs’ impact on research, provide useful resources, and encourage and improve diversity throughout the profession. US-RSE envisions a future where it plays an essential role in promoting RSEs to be universally respected for advancing science, technology, and society through the transformative power of research software engineering. The number of individual members of US-RSE has grown from about 20 in 2018 to over 2700 in 2024.
Pilot Phase: Become an Organizational Founding Member
On October 1, 2024, US-RSE will start the pilot phase of an organizational membership program, which will run through November 30, 2025. The pilot phase for organizational founding members will give organizations the opportunity to be recognized in perpetuity as founding members of US-RSE. Every organization joining on or before November 30, 2025 will be considered an organizational founding member. The annual membership fees (see Table 3) will remain the same for founding members until December 31, 2028. Organizations joining on or after December 1, 2025 are ineligible to become an organizational founding member.
