Visit Grantee Site
  • Focus Area: Scientific Research
  • Organization Name: protocols.io
  • Amount: $200,000

  • Award Date: December 2017

    Grant investigator: Heather Youngs
    This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. protocols.io staff also reviewed this page prior to publication.

    The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a grant of $200,000 to ZappyLab, Inc (doing business as “protocols.io”) to support improvements to the protocols.io platform. Currently, many research papers are published with insufficient detail and are not updated, which creates problems and inefficiencies related to scientific reproducibility. Protocols.io’s platform is designed to address these problems by providing a free, up-to-date, crowd-sourced repository of science methods.

    This is a discretionary grant, and falls within our interest in supporting scientific research.
