Who we fund 
The Research Fund provides support to individuals, groups, and organizations with interest in conducting research on or about Wikimedia projects. We encourage submissions from across research disciplines including but not limited to the humanities, social sciences, computer science, education, and law.
We prioritize supporting applicants who have limited access to research funding, are in regions of the world where the Wikimedia research community has less representation, are proposing work in coordination or collaboration with Wikimedia affiliates, and/or are proposing work that has potential for direct, positive impact on their local communities or the global Wikimedia communities.
補助內容 
We welcome two types of submissions:
- In-depth research proposals to contribute to generalizable knowledge that has the potential to improve and expand our understanding of the Wikimedia projects and their impact, introduce technical and socio-technical solutions that can enhance the technology in support of the Wikimedia projects, and advance the Wikimedia Movement towards the 2030 strategic direction.
- Proposals that focus on strengthening, expanding and diversifying the community of researchers studying Wikimedia projects.
For other proposal types, please see other sources of funding, including the Wikimedia Community Fund and the Wikimedia Alliances Fund.
資格標準

補助方式 
申請流程
- 階段一
- Applicants submit proposals in response to the call for Research Fund Proposals.所有提案都會公開，以便社群成員和區域基金委員會提供反饋。研究基金委員會和評審員將評估所有提案，將社群意見納入考量，並邀請排名較前的申請者們至下一階段提交完整提案。
- 階段二
- Applicants whose proposals are invited for Stage Ⅱ submissions submit their full proposal. These proposals will be made publicly available and are significantly more elaborate than Stage Ⅰ proposals and will include a full budget. They will also need to include responses to meta-reviews from Stage I.
審核流程
我們採用單盲審查程序，申請人的身份是已知的，但研究基金委員會的審查員是匿名的。研究基金委員會成員將自行聲明他們對每項提案的專業知識，並向委員會主席披露任何潛在的利益衝突。每項提案將至少接受三名委員審查，並且可以根據要求從七個維基媒體區域基金委員會中的一或多位委員會獲得意見。每個提案還可以通過元維基上的結構化反饋過程，獲得維基媒體志願者社群的意見。每份提案都將收到委員會主席的綜合評分和綜合審查。提案會經由審查員和委員會主席討論，並考量到區域基金委員會和志願者社群的意見。再由研究委員會主席做出最終決定。
評選標準
我們根據以下標準評估提案：
- Research. The primary focus of the proposed work must be either to conduct research designed to contribute to generalizable knowledge or research community building. Because they are not focused on generalizable knowledge, research efforts on understanding the specific needs of an organization or community will not be considered. Note that proposals with primary focus on outreach, technology development/deployment, institutional support, or other non-research activities, or research focused on specific organizations are funded through other funds offered by the Wikimedia Foundation.
- 關聯。 研究必須在和維基媒體計劃相關，或對維基媒體計劃具有重要意義。
- 影響。我們會優先考慮旨在使維基媒體社群能夠根據所進行的研究，做出具重大影響力決定或採取行動的提案。我們將特別考慮直接針對「維基媒體2030」策略方向（包括但不限於 運動建議）的提案，以及嘗試使用維基百科上不常見的語言來回答問題的提案。
- 申請人及其相應機構的地理位置。因為我們的目的是增加為維基媒體專案做出貢獻的研究人員的地域多樣性，所以鼓勵來自中南美洲、非洲、東歐和亞洲的提案，也會給予這些提案特殊考量。
- 社群。我們的目標是資助能協助維基媒體社群邁向下一步的工作。我們將優先考慮支持由維基媒體用戶組、附屬機構和開發者社群支援或共事的提案。我們鼓勵申請者在您的團隊中納入一至多名這些社群的成員，並查閱2019、2020和2021的社群願望清單，以了解這些群體提出的想法和問題。
- 對相關學術領域和／或研究項目，和／或維基媒體和自由文化社群的先前貢獻。我們會審查申請人自行報告的貢獻，以更深入地了解申請人的興趣、技能和能力。
預算
最高申請金額為50,000美元，我們打算在這一輪提供最少六筆贊助款。預算細目不必在初始申請中就提出，但我們要求針對以下類別（如果適用）做粗略估算以及簡要說明：
- 工資或津貼
- 效益
- 硬體設備
- 軟體
- 開放近用出版費用
- 機構管理費（最高佔總預算15%）
- 其他（如說明）
Because the WMF mission is focused on education, budgets should not include faculty teaching “buyouts”—i.e., any budgeting for salary or effort that will result in a reduction of teaching. If the research project being proposed is absolutely not possible without a buyout, please provide context in your budget request and an exception will be considered by the Research Fund Committee.
Final grant amounts are up to the discretion of the Research Fund Committee, who may reach out to finalists to ask for a reduced budget and a proportionally reduced scope of work. Funds will be disbursed in one payment at the beginning of the funding period (As early as May 2024).
倫理
所有提案都應遵循研究倫理原則以及與人體試驗相關的規範和指南。我們鼓勵作者閱讀《門羅報告》（Menlo Report）獲得有關倫理原則的更多資訊、《Allman/Paxson IMC '07論文》 以獲得有關數據共享的倫理指南，以及《Sandvig et al. '14論文》中關於演算法審計倫理的內容。入圍者必須解決可能的道德爭議並在提案說明他們如何解決這些爭議。機構審查委員會的審查（如有需要）需在補助分配之前完成。
研究產出
為了讓維基媒體志工社群、分支機構和基金會可操作和重複使用您的研究結果，您必須確保您的任何研究產出都符合WMF開放近用政策。我們鼓勵您將開放近用出版的成本納入預算中。
獲補助者應讓在MetaWiki:Research上創建專案頁面，逐月記錄工作進度。此外，他們也要以指定的模板完成最終財務和專案報告，並在未來的維基媒體研究活動以及其所研究社群的活動中，至少展示一次。
Grant IDs and WMF Acknowledgement in Publications
Each funded project will have a unique Grant ID which will be provided to grantees and posted on each project's corresponding Grant Meta page and Research Meta page. If a project was supported by the WMF Research Fund we suggest using the following acknowledgement in publications:
This research is supported [in part] by the Wikimedia Foundation’s Research Fund under Grant No. [grant ID]. The authors would like to thank [specific individuals or teams] at [the Wikimedia Foundation, another Wikimedia affiliate, or the Wikimedia community] for [help provided].
