Wikimedia Research Fund – Bring Positive Change on Local Communities

Wikimedia Foundation is inviting applications for Research Fund that provides support to individuals, groups, and organizations with research interests on or about Wikimedia projects.

Wikimedia encourages submissions from across research disciplines including but not limited to humanities, social sciences, computer science, education, and law. Wikimedia aims to support applicants who have limited access to research funding and are proposing work that has potential for direct, positive impact on their local communities.

Wikimedia prioritizes supporting applicants who have limited access to research funding, are in regions of the world where the Wikimedia research community has less representation, and are proposing work that has potential for direct, positive impact on their local communities or the global Wikimedia communities.
