We are thrilled to announce the 2023 CloudResearch $10K Grant Program. For the third year in a row, we will be giving away four awards of up to $2,500 each in CloudResearch credit (to cover participant payment and fees)1. Credit can be used for studies on CloudResearch’s new platform, Connect2. Designed with researchers and participants in mind, Connect is an easy-to-use crowdsourcing platform that delivers data quality you can trust.

Who Is Eligible to Apply?

Our grants are open to all! We would love to hear from innovative researchers in any field of academia or industry, and at any stage of their career.

What Does the Application Look Like?

The application consists of a short form with the following questions (100-300 words each):

  1. Describe your research project and goals
  2. What is the anticipated impact of your project on your field or industry?
  3. Who will your participants be? Mention any specific recruitment needs, if applicable.
  4. What are the materials and procedure for your study?
  5. In what ways is your study innovative?
  6. How much does your study cost? (Feel free to inquire with us if you need help determining costs)

You will also be asked to provide a brief statement detailing your experience doing research. Grant recipients will be invited to present their projects at CloudResearch’s Innovations in Online Research Conference to be held October 13, 2023.

How Will the Recipients Be Selected?

An internal committee of researchers at CloudResearch will review the applications. The committee will consider all materials, but will place a particular emphasis on two factors: how innovative the study is, and its potential impact.
