[tor-project] Research grant opportunity - how open digital infrastructure is built, deployed and maintained

[Al Smith]

Hello Tor community,

Attention researchers! There is a new grant opportunity from a coalition 
of funders (Ford Foundation, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Omidyar 
Network, Schmidt Futures and Open Collective) that may be of interest to 
you called the Digital Infrastructure Insights Fund: 
https://fordfoundation.forms.fm/2023-digital-infrastructure-insights-fund-rfp/forms/9724.

This funding is for research projects designed to gain a deeper 
understanding of how open digital infrastructure is built, deployed and 
maintained. They are looking for projects that examine:

>   * underlying free and open-source software (FOSS) interacts with
>     politics, sovereign responsibilities, diverse economic sectors,
>     and the advancement of knowledge in the sciences and beyond.
>
>   * the convergence of open-source software and digital infrastructure
>     with social movements focused on democracy, rights, justice, the
>     environment and scientific research.
>
>   * the issue of under-maintenance and occasional undermining of FOSS,
>     as well as explore any geographical or other disparities within
>     the communities responsible for providing and sustaining these
>     software components amid evolving regulatory and socio-technical
>     circumstances.
>

If you have a project in mind related to the Tor community, you can let 
the Tor Fundraising team (grants at torproject.org, or directly to me) 
know; we'd be happy to help you develop your idea.

Al
