NumFOCUS has opened 2023 round 1 of their small development grants.
NumFOCUS small development grants allow funding NumFOCUS projects, such as
SymPy for work. We are allowed to submit at most one grant proposal.
If anyone is interested in applying for this grant to do some work on
SymPy, please reach out to me. In the past, we have used these grants to
pay people to do maintenance work and to pay people to develop some
features. Note that unlike GSoC, this would not be mentored work, so we
will only accept proposals from people who are already active SymPy
contributors. If you are interested in doing a *mentored* project, I
encourage you to apply to the upcoming GSoC program.
I have included the details below. If you are interested in applying,
please reach out to me about it by February 24 so that we will have time to
create and submit a proposal to NumFOCUS.
Timeline:
-
Deadline for Proposal Submission: March 3, 2023
-
Projects will be Notified: April 14th, 2023 (or sooner)
Available Funding:
-
Up to $10,000 per proposal
Eligibility:
-
Any NumFOCUS Fiscally Sponsored or Affiliated project may submit *one*
proposal on behalf of the project per grant cycle.
-
If you wish to solicit proposal ideas from your project community,
the project leaders must organize their own review process to select the
proposal that the leadership will put forward to NumFOCUS.
-
Funding can be used for: code development, documentation work; website
updates; workshops and sprints; educational, sustainability, and diversity
initiatives, or other types of projects.
-
Proposed work must be achievable within the 12 months following the
award.
-
The call is open to applicants from any nationality and can be performed
at any university, institute, or business worldwide (US export laws
permitting).
Funding Distribution:
-
For fiscally sponsored projects only, NumFOCUS can deposit the grant
funding directly into the project’s account. The project would then
submit invoices through the usual channels (i.e., Open Collective) to pay
the grant expenses.
-
NumFOCUS can set up an independent contractor agreement with an
individual or company.
-
NumFOCUS can award the money as a grant or subcontract to a student or
postdoc at a university (depending on the university's rules).
-
NumFOCUS can directly pay for expenses associated with the grant (e.g.
booking flights on behalf of project leaders to attend a workshop, per
diems for travel days)
