Hi All
There are two challenges currently live on experiment.com offering up to $10k (average $4k) for community biology and frugal science projects.
Community bio challenge (Science Lead: David Sun Kong, Ph.D.)
Frugal science projects. (Science Lead: Manu Prakash)
There are peculiarities to this funding and the experiment.com platform (for example, there is usually an expectation you would crowdsource at least some of the funding), so read the pages carefully before deciding if it works for you!
