Small money, big change
It’s time for another round of Mozilla Science Mini Grants and we want YOU to apply!
Awards at Mozilla are designed to support diverse approaches to addressing the most pressing threats to Internet health. Through the Science Mini Grants awards track, Mozilla seeks to identify, support, and develop a community of leaders in the network with the aim to transform research and the culture around science to make it more accessible, transparent, and reproducible.
Thanks to the generous support of the Leona M. & Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, once again we are awarding small grants ($3,000 — $10,000 USD) for project ideas that foster innovation and ultimately lead to more robust prototypes and products by expanding and enhancing the community who are working open. For this round of mini grants, we are specifically looking for projects related to biomedical subject areas.

I appreciate the support and funding that Mozilla has provided through the mini-grant... It went a long way equipping our students, researchers, and lecturers with open science tools. ~Caleb Kibet
I thank Mozilla a lot because open data has the potential to make changes in my country. My project has reached an upper level and it’s all because of the grant. ~Fabienne Rafidiharinirina
