OASIS is an open database of non-technical summaries of high-quality research that is continuously fed by key Applied Linguistics journals that have incorporated accessible summary production in their publication routines. By establishing a culture of systematic production and dissemination of accessible summaries, research becomes physically and, most importantly, conceptually available to teachers, teacher educators, language programme designers, test designers, city counsellors responsible for education and equality, and caregivers. To strengthen its position, this project will 1) document evidence of OASIS’ impact; 2) improve the reach to stakeholders; 3) increase the number of participating journals; and 4) obtain structural financial support.

Our cells are coated with a thick layer of sugars that viruses bind to infect our cells. When released, viruses modify these sugars so they can proceed to a new target. This research will design and test molecules that stop viruses from modifying sugars, creating a new class of anti-virals.
