We're thrilled to announce that OA Works ([formerly Open Access
Button](https://blog.oa.works/open-access-button-is-now-oa-works/)) has
received a grant of \$1.9M USD over the next three years from the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation. The investment expands OA.Work's efforts to
streamline self-archiving through
[ShareYourPaper](https://shareyourpaper.org/?ref=blog.oa.works), and
forges a new partnership with the foundation to develop tools that help
put OA policies into practice. We're building three new open-source
services for the foundation and other institutions, including:

- ******[OAreport](https://oa.report/?ref=blog.oa.works):****** to
 discover, analyze, and unlock papers covered by OA policies.
- ******[ShareYourPaper for
 Funders](https://shareyourpaper.org/?ref=blog.oa.works):****** to
 bring drag-and-drop self-archiving to funders and their grantees.
- ****[**OAsupport**](https://oa.support/?ref=blog.oa.works):**** to
 provide a help desk that serves authors making their work open access.

Ashley Farley, Program Officer of Knowledge and Research Services at the
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation said, "Through our partnership we'll
be able to maximize the impact of our policy---and create tools to help
others do the same. In 2021, with our refreshed policy, we knew the time
was right to make our foundation's first major investment in open
infrastructure. Only open infrastructure can maximize our grantees'
ability to share and build upon research."

"OA.works has its roots in the global health community and our team has
been involved in major efforts like the Plan S Journal Checker Tool to
help implement OA policies. With the foundation, we're excited to take
that further by building general purpose tools with the community at a
time when sharing global health research has never been more urgent."
remarked Joe McArthur, director of OA.Works.

"While these are new services, they consolidate and expand an effort we
started on day one with the Open Access Button's request system to work
with authors to share their paper's and make it easier for others to do
the same."  remarked Natalia Norori, who is managing the new tools at
OA.Works.
