NumFOCUS has opened the first round of small development grants for 2021.
We are allowed to submit one proposal for SymPy. If you are interested in
applying, please let me know. If we have multiple people interested, we
will decide who will submit. Note, that for small development grants, we
give preference to. If you are a student and are new to SymPy and
interested in being paid to contribute to SymPy, consider applying to GSoC.
Here are the details for this round:
*Timeline:*
-
*Deadline for Proposal Submission: March 5, 2021*
-
Projects will be Notified: April 15, 2021 (or sooner)
*Available Funding:*
-
Up to $5,000 per proposal
*Eligibility:*
-
Any NumFOCUS Fiscally Sponsored or Affiliated project may submit *1*
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 normal channels (i.e. Rocket) 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 rules of the university).
- 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)
