Congratulations! Upon graduating from Nebula or Open Seeds, you will earn a NASA TOPS Badge via Credly certifying your knowledge of Open Science best practices. Please follow these steps to finalize the certification process.

Steps to claim your NASA certificate

  1. Create an ORCID account if you don’t have one already.

  2. Create and log into an account on openscience101.org.

  • You must use the same email as your ORCID. This step links your badge to your ORCID.
  • There is no need to complete the MOOC or assessments.
  1. Complete the post-cohort feedback survey.
    • The OLS team will provide a link to the feedback survey after the cohort ends.
    • You will need to submit the following information for your certificate: full name, ORCID, and the email associated with your ORCID.
  2. Accept your NASA badge.
    • Within 30 days of submitting your information, you will receive an email from Credly inviting you to accept your digital badge.
    • Once accepted, the badge will appear in your ORCID account.
