Prizes and competitions to help science funding go further.
Make more science happen
Answer The Challenge
Anyone can create a project in response to a challenge. Projects must be submitted before the launch deadline to be eligible. Winners will be chosen when all of the eligible campaigns end.
Peer-Reviewed Proposals
Each project will be reviewed and approved by a panel of science and topic experts. All review comments are transparent and open to the public.
Crowd Leverage
Three is a party, but three hundred is a crowd. By backing a project, backers will receive lab note updates and scientific results from project researchers. This is science by the people, for the people.
