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(a)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
