## Career advancement and exposure
Engaging with open research is good for your CV as many funding and fellowship applications are now requesting and recognising research outputs other than solely papers. For example, preprints, code, datasets and documentation can all be referenced with a digital object identifier (doi) and cited as research outputs. Our hope is that any user of the Open WIN Tools will be able to produce some non-traditional research outputs, however we expect that Ambassadors will stand out as deeply committed to this work.
-Ambassadors will have the opportunity to devise and deliver training on these tools, and potentially lead sub-teams who are working on a specific output. These are both excellent experience and opportunities to show leadership on your CV.
+Ambassadors will have the opportunity to devise and deliver training on these tools, and potentially co-lead a small team working on a specific output. You will also be supported in collaborating with other researchers on open and community projects in neuroimaging ([internal to WIN](https://www.win.ox.ac.uk/open-win/open-win-resources) or an external project for example via [BrainWeb](https://brain-web.github.io/projects/)), or starting your own project or community activity as part of Open WIN. These are both excellent experience and opportunities to show leadership on your CV and community building.

+
+The Open WIN Ambassadors programme is an essential component in achieving the vision of the Open WIN Community:
+
+> The Open WIN Community will empower WIN researchers to share all forms of research output, through the provision of training, skills development, and contribution to open science policy.
+
+> We are working open as this is an effective way to develop a user focused and inclusive project which all members of our community can contribute to and benefit from.
+
+## Aims and objectives of the Ambassador programme
+
+### 1. Growing our user base
+
+Our overarching goal is to increase the number of users of our [sharing infrastructure](../../tools), so more people can share all stages of their research output, and receive appropriate credit for doing so. This will help is achieve the Open Neuroimaging Project goal of increasing the openness of our research, to facilitate discovery and accelerate the translation of methods and results to the clinic. b
+
+One of the most effective ways of growing our user base is to capitalise on the skills, reach and influence of a select group of "power users", who can advocate for local change and represent the interests of their colleagues. These power users (our Ambassadors) will have the best understanding of what others needs to see, feel, and experience in their journey in order to successfully adopt an effective open science practice.
+
+**As part of the programme we would like you to contribute to the documentation which will guide your colleagues though using the Open WIN infrastructure. These resources will become the go-to for new users, and some cases their stepping off point in their open science journey. We'd also like you to give a talk about open science or the Open WIN infrastructure to your lab, and think about what practices could be incorporated into your routine workflow.**
+
+### 2. Building capacity in open and collaborative leadership
+
+The Ambassador programme will create opportunities for our community to gain experience in open and inclusive leadership, project management, collaboration and community building. These skills an essential contributor to positive research culture, and opportunities to practice and reflect on these skills can have a significant impact on career trajectories.
+
+**Alongside individual career development, capacity building in open leadership will have a knock-on effect in the broader open science landscape within and outside of WIN. We expect our Ambassadors will go on to lead their own open projects, and become key contributors to open science communities and projects in our discipline.**
+
+### 3. Improving the transparency, reproducibility and integrity of our research
+
+As reported by the [Software Sustainability Institute](https://www.software.ac.uk/news/major-funding-boost-uks-open-research-agenda?mc_cid=0d68e9a951&mc_eid=8c2ea6a0db), "*The benefits of open research practices for improving the quality and integrity of research have been widely documented, and are recognised by the [UK Government R&D Roadmap](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/896799/UK_Research_and_Development_Roadmap.pdf) as contributing to improving the culture of research*"
+
+The Ambassadors will have access to a curated list seminars and workshops which will teach core skills in transparent and reproducible research for neuroimaging. This will arm them with the knowledge and expertise to include transparent and reproducible workflows in their own research
+
+**By the end of the program we expect our Ambassadors to be experts in using the Open WIN tools, have used GitLab to publish training material, for which they will receive recognition for in perpetuity, and where possible have openly shared one of their own research outputs.**
+
+### 4. Setting the agenda
+
+One of the most difficult and unresolved problems in open science is how we appropriately incentivise good open science practice, and what policy (local or otherwise) we should have in place to support and reward open science. For example, should we include open science in professional development reviews? Should we explore open science "badges" on our work or profiles? How should we track engagement and growth in open science outputs? These topics all deserve careful consideration, not least because inappropriate use of metrics and "gaming the system" is a large contributor to many of the problems which open science seeks to address.
+
+**As people who will be directly impacted by any policy introduced to incentivise or monitor open science activities at WIN, we would like the Open WIN Ambassadors to help devise, consult on and explore how we move forward to promote behaviour change.**
+
+
+### 5. Shaping culture
+
+In all our activities, we will aim to model a positive research culture. Following extensive survey of researchers across all career stages, The Wellcome Trust identified common themes in what researchers describe as [essential characteristics for a positive research culture](https://wellcome.org/sites/default/files/what-researchers-think-about-the-culture-they-work-in.pdf):
+
+- diversity is encouraged and celebrated
+- collaboration is encouraged and celebrated
+- individual contributions feel valuable and valued
+- individuals feel supported
+- individuals feel safe and secure
+- leadership is transparent and open
+- time to think is valued.
+
+We believe that in order to feel safe, secure and valued, we should cultivate an environment where the "whole person" is welcomed and respected. This recognises that we are more than just a "researcher", or "student", and it is the collection of our parts which makes us unique in our contributions and thinking. We have hopes, fears, passions, disagreements, strengths, weaknesses, relationships, responsibilities, pain, joys, sadness, laughter and complexities, and we cannot be expected to (always) separate these things from how we work. Recognising our individual diversity also enables us to be cognisant of our own biases and blind spots, and work to minimise the impact of them. Sharing ourselves as whole people, when we feel safe to do so, provides space for us all to support, accommodate and celebrate together.
+
+**You will be expected to participate with the intention to embody a positive research culture, where we are respectful and supportive of each other as whole people. You will be expected to interact with honesty, humility and compassion towards yourself and others at all times.**
+
+
+## Evaluation of the programme and your experience
+
+As this is a pilot programme, we intend to closely follow your experience and see how well we are meeting our aims and objectives above. We also interested to know how effective the programme has been in meeting your needs and expectations, how it could be improved and the impact you think it will have going forwards.
+
+### Success against our objectives
+
+We will take a baseline measure of your open science activities at the start, and revisit this as the programme draws to a close. Success against our objectives will be operationalised as an increase from baseline in the proportion of "yes" answers to the below questions from our Ambassadors:
+
+1. Have you created and published some documentation on an Open WIN tool?
+2. Have you started a new open/community project or contributed to an existing one (internal to WIN or an external project)?
+3. Have you used our infrastructure for one of your research outputs?
+4. Have you done another open science thing, e.g. preprint/pre-reg?
+5. Have you given a talk about OS to your lab?
+6. Has your lab incorporated any open science practice into your "routine work flow"?
+7. Has someone come to you with a question about open science? Were you able to answer it or did you know where to get support?
+8. Have you contributed to WIN Open Science policy?
+
+### Delivery of the programme
+
+At the end of each training session and the end of the programme, we would like your feedback on what has worked well and what could be improved:
+
+1. What worked well?
+2. What surprised you?
+3. What would you change?
+4. What would you like to know more about?
+
+### Impact going forwards
+
+At the close of the programme, we will collect feedback on your predicted long-term impact of the course, including our attempts to embody a positive research culture.
+
+1. What (if any) part of the programme has had the greatest impact on your research practice?
+2. What (if any) part of the programme has impacted your career development?
+3. What (if any) opportunities would you like to be available to continue your engagement with the Open WIN Community?
+
+#### Culture
+
+1. Do you feel as though diversity was encouraged and celebrated?
+2. Do you feel as though collaboration was encouraged and celebrated?
+3. Did individual contributions feel valuable and valued?
+4. Did you feel supported?
+5. Did you feel safe and secure?
+6. Was leadership transparent and open?
+7. Was time to think is valued?
+8. Did you feel welcomed and respected as a whole person?
