Hi all,
We are excited to announce the launch of this year's *Wikimedia Research Fund *with the goal of diversifying the network of Wikimedia researchers globally and supporting the Wikimedia Movement in deeper understanding of the projects, decision making, and building new technologies. If you are a Wikimedia researcher or you are interested in becoming one, you can apply for research funds (USD 2K-50K) until December 15, 2023. While all research proposals related to Wikimedia projects are welcome, we particularly encourage research studies on medium to small size languages and communities, as well as in low resourced languages and projects. You can even propose to repeat a past study in a given language in another language!
More info at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Programs/Wikimedia_Research_%26_Tech https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Programs/Wikimedia_Research_&_Technology_Fund/Wikimedia_Research_Fund .
**Apply by December 15, 2023* and/or spread the word!*
