🗄️Research grant

Applications can be done here

The grant is set at a maximum of $10,000 per applicant, which will be distributed to researcher(s), for the expenses that are incurred while working on their project’s proposal. The intent for this grant is to lead up to a larger proposal, on which the community will vote. This will be for proposals exceeding the limits of this grant.

When the aim of the application is to create a new product, applicants are advised to create a prototype to properly illustrate your product. This will be an important indicator of the capabilities of the applicant.

It must be clear that the budget will not be granted for the person merely writing the proposal. The budget is there to spend on external working hours creating a prototype, graphic design or any kind of work the applicant is not able to do themselves.
