PROJECT: "How to get Funding"
We are gathering information and best practice on different modes and sources of funding for DIY science initiatives. This should give us a good overview of what kind of funding is available in different countries (and where there could be more), what it's like to access that funding, and what kind of projects we are using that funding for. Each issue represents one funding source/model.

How to contribute

1. Describe a funding source/model

For each new funding source we document, make a new issue using this template (first check through the existing issues to make sure one doesn't already exist). You can also check this brainstorm list for ideas.

2. Add comments

Please add information in the comments if you have experience with this kind of funding, good or bad. Alternatively, if you don't have personal experience, you can also help by researching others who have been funded this way.

• NAME OF THE INITIATIVE (links, contacts, any relevant information about your status as an organisation etc):
• DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT (links etc):
• AMOUNT OF MONEY INVOLVED:
• COMMENTS:

Thanks!
