ResearchHub provides direct funding pathways for scientific research. Browse open funding opportunities posted by the ResearchHub Foundation and community funders, or create a proposal to pitch your own research for funding consideration.
Each funding opportunity includes a defined scope of work, funding amount in USD, and a deadline for submissions. Opportunities span a range of disciplines — biomedical sciences, computational biology, physics, economics, and beyond — so there is likely one relevant to your area of expertise. Researchers who find a match can apply directly, with all materials submitted and reviewed on-platform.
Researchers can also create their own proposals to pursue original work. Each proposal undergoes open peer review where community members and domain experts evaluate the methodology, significance, and feasibility of the research. Funded projects receive RSC directly, with no intermediaries or extended application cycles.
Traditional funding processes often involve months of preparation and long wait times. ResearchHub streamlines this with clear requirements, open peer review, and practical timelines. The entire process is visible on-platform from submission to funding decision. Browse the open opportunities below, or switch to the Proposals tab to see community-submitted research plans seeking support.
Researchers at US-based institutions can attach their University nonprofit to their fundraise to enable tax deductible contributions from funders. Additionally, nonprofit attachment enables quick delivery of funds to the researcher's university bank account, typically landing as discretionary funds within 2-3 weeks from fundraise close. These funds are not typically subject to university indirects or overhead fees, and may only be subject to a gift fee as specified by the researcher's university.
