I had such a wonderful experience with #SciFund Round 2 that I consider myself a #SciFunder for life. While I won’t be participating in the third round for funding, I will be providing my experience with funding success to those who are seeking funds in the third round. I will also be providing some bits of service to anyone who wants it so, if you have questions please ask. If you need some scientific design, step right up! And if you want to spread the word, than look no further!

Everything you need to know can be found via the SciFund website and hopefully I’ll drop some helpful bits of knowledge every now and then. The schedule of events is as follows:

1. Registration is due by Oct 7. Here you will submit a short description of the project you wish to fund. This is a no stress scenario basically to prove you aren’t looking to make alien telepathy blocking helmets.
2. Proposal writing takes place for the next month. This phase is extremely crucial and I will urge all participants to move as quickly as possible. There will be lots of reedits and you will need time to get this all done. You will also need to create a video explaining your project and this is even more time consuming.
3. Finally on November 8, your proposals go live and the crowdfunding begins!

As I said earlier, I’ll be writing posts that will guide SciFund Rd 3 participants through the SciFund process and I’ll also be posting my exploits as a third party involved in the Challenge. Hopefully Round 3 is bigger and brighter than Round 2. The SciFund Challenge isn’t just about raising money for science, it’s about training scientists to engage their community and teach science. And I hope Round 3 can bring together a new group of scientists to spread the knowledge of science even further!
