The Sloan and Ford Foundations have made a request for proposals with the goal of funding a set of research projects to further our understanding of economics, maintenance, and sustainability of digital infrastructures (especially as they rely heavily on volunteer resources).
Do you think experimental (technial) projects to further open access would be within scope? (I mean things like https://dissem.in/ , although they don't seem to need funding right now.)
I highly recommend you check with them directly at m.brennan@fordfoundation.org . If I have to guess, I think it's not unlikely for this kind of project to be a fit if you package it as a case-study to answer some of the questions posed by the RFP.
Best, Leila
