Hello everyone,

In October, we announced this year's call for proposals to the Wikimedia Research Fund [1]. Our submission deadline was December 15. We are now in the exciting phase of reviewing submissions and making recommendations for which proposals to advance to Stage II [2] and we welcome your input.

The review process consists of technical reviews conducted by researchers, along with open community feedback, before advancing to the next stages. The community feedback process will take place on Meta-Wiki where you can read the proposals under consideration and leave comments using our feedback form linked from every proposal page [3]. The proposals have been categorized by project and regional focus in order to ease the review process [4].

The deadline for providing feedback is January 30, 2024 (23:59 AoE).If you have any questions, please contact us at research_fund(a)wikimedia.org.

Thank you for your time.

Kinneret,
on behalf of the Research Fund Organizing Committee [5]
