$50,000 to jumpstart projects on Experiment.com
Hi Meera,

We will be announcing this publicly in a few weeks but want to give you a head start to apply. 

New Harvest is partnering with the Experiment Foundation and Robert Downey Jr.'s FootPrint Coalition on a new funding opportunity for cellular agriculture research!

Here's how it works: 

New Harvest has set up a cell ag challenge on Experiment.com, a crowdfunding site for science experiments. Thanks to Robert Downey Jr.'s FootPrint Coalition, we have $50,000 to spread across cell ag projects. We will back up to 50% of an eligible project's budget (up to $5,000/project), with the remainder raised by you through crowdfunding. 

Don't worry - if your project is selected, New Harvest and Robert Downey Jr.'s FootPrint Coalition will do our best to drum up support and help you reach your crowdfunding goal.

It's a little unconventional, but we are excited to experiment with a new funding mechanism to jumpstart bold projects. More on the philosophy behind this experiment here.

Unlike previous New Harvest grants, we are opening this challenge up to social science research projects. For example - what policy interventions can ensure the land hypothetically freed up by cell ag is used for carbon capture? 

If you're on the fence, don't hesitate to reach out and ask if your idea is a good fit. We are happy to help you refine or narrow the focus of your project.

Questions? Please email Bre, our research operations and outreach director, at bre...@new-harvest.org.
