Hi Tim and OAC folks,

Being in Canada I’m not certain if I can be an applicant but I’m happy to help either way.

Happy New Year to all!

Cheers,

I read over the Sloan.org and it looks promising, anyone have a non-profit that can accept the funds?  All my business are for profit.

The open science hardware foundation could likely act to accept something like that.

Also the open source hardware association

Hi all, 

Glad there's so much interest in this, and super excited to talk further!! I had originally thought we could submit through my position at Fred Hutch/University of Washington, and contract with groups unable to directly accept a subaward (e.g. Scott). OSHWA / OSHF works great as well if we can develop a suitable arrangement.

Best, 

Nasa

Hello everyone, hope you all had a happy new year.

As I'm currently located in Brazil I'm not sure if I can apply but I'd gladly help in any way I can.

Best,

Luiza

I have not been able to watch the recording yet but I do want to note that in San Francisco we have been able to get some community automation that has been generously provided by Opentrons.

Happy to share additional details if anyone is interested!
