Update for 2022?

Nutshell: Research fund open ; Tech fund awaiting strategic priorities, will open after July 2023.

At Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Research & Technology Fund the research grant program closed 8 months ago in January 2022 and there is no notice here about when the next cycle begins.

Any updates on which of the previous round of applicants were selected, or when the next round of funding will open? Bluerasberry (talk) 13:54, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

The next cycle is now open: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Programs/Wikimedia_Research_%26_Technology_Fund/Wikimedia_Research_Fund. You can also view the funded proposals from the last cycle on that page. ELescak (WMF) (talk) 20:49, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
@ELescak (WMF) Any update on when the Technology Fund would be open? SD0001 (talk) 16:30, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
We do not have an update on when the Technology Fund will open. With new leadership in the tech and product department we are waiting to ensure the fund will be aligned with priorities. The technology fund will not launch in the current fiscal year July 2022-June 2023. Thank you. KEchavarriqueen (WMF) (talk) 22:33, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
Thank KEchavarriqueen for this feedback ! We can plan better now. Yug (talk) 13:06, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

@JethroBT_(WMF), hi, I see a link in the sentence just above the blue Apply button:

  • The Program Officer will also support in understanding what round of funding would be suitable to apply for.

The link, or #General Support Fund" is supposed to take me to #Rounds:

  • can you change the link to appropriate page/section please?
  • for translation sake, will you tvar the link body (left part) accordingly?
