Digital Infrastructure Research Grants
A collaborative research-grants initiative — Ford Foundation with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Mozilla's Open Source Support programme, Omidyar Network, and Open Society Foundations (fiscally hosted by Open Collective Foundation for the 2020 round) — funding research on the open-source code and digital infrastructure underpinning the internet, including how to sustain maintainer communities and address systemic inequities in the field. Ran across a 2018 wave (managed jointly by Ford and Sloan) and a larger 2020 collaborative wave.
