More About This Challenge
The sciency details
Challenge Aims
FootPrint Coalition's Science Engine is a hub where leading scientists can share their research and engage directly with a community. Individual researchers working on technologies combating our climate and biodiversity crises can receive fast grants and funding from supporters globally.
The grant awards are chosen by esteemed partners, who we call "Science Leads," to spearhead these efforts in vitally important fields. The first five Science Leads and categories are:
- Keolu Fox is funding Indigenous researchers and Indigenous futures projects.
- Sacoby Wilson is funding community science and environmental justice work.
- Bridget Baumgartner and Ryan Phelan are funding conservation biotech-related work.
- Isha Datar is funding cellular agriculture projects.
- James Weis is funding overlooked research with the help of machine learning algorithms.
Project Eligilibity
In order to receive support, there must be an active Experiment project. Grant funding and amounts are subject to the discretion of the Science Lead.
