|
||
**We're calling all those interested in expanding academic knowledge throughout the Ethereum ecosystem!** | ||
|
||
The Ethereum community has grown immensely as developers, artists, companies, and even governments work together to make a positive impact with this technology. | ||
|
||
With this grants round, the Ethereum Foundation welcomes more academics to the table to push forward formal academic research in related domains. Such domains include theoretical and applied cryptography and mathematics, zero-knowledge proofs, economics, computation, cybersecurity, protocol and consensus mechanisms, formal verification, P2P networking, and hardware, just to mention a few areas. | ||
|
||
The Ethereum Foundation is excited to expand Ethereum's reach across more of academia through this grants round. | ||

Which resulted in a summary item in the sidenav Just wondering if this is intentionally not there anymore, or maybe its missing. There was a problem hiding this comment. Choose a reason for hiding this commentThe reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more. Good observation. The thing is that this is not something I have added support for, because now every heading will appear in the sidebar. So I made that heading bold to avoid having it in the sidebar. Then, in the case of the Summary section, this is a special case that I also didn't add support for. It is special because it has a hidden heading in the content. With this implementation we would have to add a heading like Let me see if we can do something about that. |

### Submit proposal | ||
|
||
Individual researchers with academic backgrounds, research centers, universities, think-tanks, educators and other stakeholders interested in research on matters related to Ethereum and its ecosystem are encouraged to apply. | ||

|
||
We welcome research at any stage, whether it's a new idea based on the wishlist, a project that furthers Ethereum-related research you've already undertaken, or a lab experiment. | ||
|
||
Grants will be awarded on a case-by-case and rolling basis. You may enter more than one proposal as long as each proposal is unique and meets the [the requirements](#requirements). | ||
|

<Accordion allowToggle> | ||
<FAQItem question='Who can submit proposals for Academic Grants Round?'> | ||
Academic institutions, consortia of universities, research centres, | ||
universities, think-tanks and individuals with prior research experience. | ||
</FAQItem> | ||
|
||
<FAQItem question='What makes for a good proposal?'> | ||
In short, we need enough information to understand your goals, the research | ||
problem you're aiming to tackle, the academic output, information on | ||
previous research work, who's involved and estimation regarding time | ||
and budget. The more details you provide, the more likely we'll be able | ||
to help. | ||
|
||
For example: | ||
|
||
- Clearly showing the research area you're digging into. | ||
- Outlining the output. Is it a research paper or lab work that will culminate in an experimental report? | ||
- Clearly stating the impact your research will have and how you foresee your findings being used by the Ethereum community. | ||
- Detailed description of your project, milestones, the people involved and how much time you think it will take to complete. | ||
