with medical students in the classroom.
See the talk page and endorsements for the discussion that led to the grant

Hello All,
As you might know WMF has an Open Access Policy that requires all work
that they fund to be Open Access[1]. A strange consequence of this policy,
that I recently ran into, is that it requires researchers funded by grants
to publish OA -- but without providing any funding to do so. That is, I
recently completed an Individual Engagement Grant (IEG), part of whose
scope was explicitly to write a paper about the work[2], and when I wrote
to WMF to acquire funds for OA publishing, they confirmed that the paper
was under the OA mandate but indicated that funds were not available to pay
for OA publishing.
Has anyone else use WMF's Open Access Policy? What was your experience?
