-[Openscapes](https://openscapes.org) is an approach for doing better science in less time. Through the Champions program we help research groups reimagine data-intensive science, develop modern skills that are of immediate value to them, and cultivate collaborative and inclusive research communities. Our Cohort is supported by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation's [Symbiosis in Aquatic Systems Initiative (SASI)](https://www.moore.org/initiative-strategy-detail?initiativeId=symbiosis-in-aquatic-systems-initiative), and we're partnering with [protocols.io](https://protocols.io), a secure platform for developing and sharing reproducible methods.
+[Openscapes](https://openscapes.org/) is an approach for better science for future us. Through the Champions Program we help researchers and those supporting research find each other and feel empowered to conduct collaborative data-intensive science. Openscapes Champions is not a typical workshop --- its cohort-based remote sessions for teams introduces concepts and workflows, facilitates teams to talk about problems, then go and solve them with accountability and support. It is a remote-by-design program, launched in 2019, and this is our 20th Cohort! Our Cohort is sponsored by [Fred Hutch Data Science Lab](https://hutchdatascience.org/), with Sean Kross and Monica Gerber supporting us and being a direct link between your needs and solutions at Fred Hutch.
