The COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine have created numerous challenges. We'll be giving special consideration to proposals using IPFS to combat the effects of the crisis, such as:
- Direct relief efforts
- Epidemiological Data durability and dissemination
- Supply chain reorganization
- Remote work
- Community support networks and resilience
- Access to educational materials, online coursework, libraries, etc
(see also COVID-19 Open Innovation Grants from PL research)
For the soft launch of the Grants Platform in early 2020 our focus was simple: listen to our community members, invite them to the table, and concentrate on the projects that address the biggest community needs.
