FundScience Announces its Acceptance of Applications for Round One of Funding
We here at FundScience are extremely excited to announce that beginning on Monday, March 1st 2010, we are accepting applications for our first round of project funding. Applications can be completed through the website and will be available until April 1st, 2010.
Whether you are a fledgling or an experienced researcher, we hope that you will send us your research proposals. All research proposals will be scientifically vetted and up to three will be chosen as the recipients of up to $50,000 in research grant money, or you can receive the use of CPU cycles from our friends at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.
We are proud that we are now able to put one of our main goals into action, namely that of providing science funding to young researchers and their projects through public philanthropy. This will also allow us to continue with our aim of educating the public about science, as this will be an interactive process and we will be constantly educating about the research process and updating about the status of the chosen research projects.
We will also be writing blog posts about topics that are related to our chosen research projects so that everyone may learn more about the areas of science that are being researched and whet their appetites for discovering our wonderfully scientific world.
The best of luck to all of our applicants!
-The FundScience Team
