A Free Code grant-making body for Aotearoa would aim to provide a fulltime living for developers (or part-time where that works better for them), for a period of months. Allowing them to complete a pre-planned piece of work as described in the grant application, as with NlNet grants.

#Trump must release millions in #grants meant to address the shortage of #MentalHealth workers in #schools, a federal judge ruled.

#Congress funded the program after the 2022 #Uvalde #SchoolShooting. The grants were intended to help schools hire more #counselors, #psychologists & #SocialWorkers, & focus on rural & underserved areas. But Trump’s admin opposed #diversity considerations used to award the grants & told recipients they wouldn’t continue past Dec 2025.

Success rate for the #EU Postdoctoral #grants MCSA is now lower (10%) than for #ERC starting grants (12%), and even lower for the ERC advance grants (8%). The UK funding not much better, UKRI grants at 18%, down from a 36% back in 2017.

And I'm expected to get the same amount of funding that people 10 or 15 years ago if I want to keep my job... What a mess.
