Funding bid for OLSPub, Germany's planned PubMed open safety net from @ZBMED submitted. You can sign up to register your support here: https://blog.zbmed.de/olspub-support
Institutional letter of support template here: https://www.zbmed.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Pressemitteilungen/2025/2025-05-05_LoS_PubMed_Alternative_ZB_MED.pdf
Background at my blog: https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/05/14/germanys-plan-for-an-open-and-independent-pubmed-safety-net/
"The big vision is to move past the reliance on any single country’s investment in this core life sciences infrastructure: It’s not to have a duplicative, parallel structure in Germany, nor to simply transplant a centralized system from the US to Germany. The goal is a fully open source, federated, safety net, embedded within the international community, with a strong global network of support."

The project account; @ZBMED.
I could not find a deadline for the letter of support? Relevant people in my institution are on holiday the coming week, so I'd need to know if it can wait that long or if I have to find alternatives.
