In response to recent NIH funding cuts, we're connecting donors directly with impactful research labs
Recent cuts to NIH funding have left many critical research projects in jeopardy. At inkr, we recognize the importance of these projects and are developing a platform to connect donors directly with impactful research labs.
We're currently reaching out to the research labs in our database to identify projects that need funding support, and establishing a secure, transparent system for directing contributions to these vital projects.
We're currently in the outreach phase, connecting with labs to understand their specific funding needs.
The current landscape of research funding faces significant challenges:
Recent budget adjustments have reduced available funding for many critical research areas.
More researchers competing for fewer grants means many promising projects go unfunded.
Novel, high-risk/high-reward research is often the first to lose funding during cutbacks.
We're creating a direct connection between passionate individuals who want to support science and the labs doing groundbreaking work. This bridge will help ensure promising research continues despite traditional funding challenges.
We're contacting labs in our database to understand their funding needs and projects that require support.
Each project is verified for scientific merit, impact potential, and transparency in how funds will be used.
Donors will be able to browse projects, learn about the research, and contribute directly to the labs.
We're building our funding platform with these core principles:
Whether you're a researcher seeking funding or someone interested in supporting science, join our waiting list to be among the first to access our platform.
