Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Research & Technology Fund/Report
To make the research results actionable and reusable by the Wikimedia volunteer communities, affiliates and Foundation, grantees must ensure that all research outputs comply with the WMF Open Access Policy.
Grantees are expected to create project pages on MetaWiki:Research and document the progress of their work once a month. In addition, they are expected to complete final financial and project reports using provided templates below, and present at a future Wikimedia Research event as well as at least at one event within their research community. The financial reports will need to include actual expenses and should align with the approved budget, unless reallocations were approved.
Questions can be directed to research_fund@wikimedia.org.
Final Report Requirements
[edit]The final reporting consists of three sections, outlined below. Please carefully review the requirements and ensure that you complete them as you conclude your projects.
- Research Fund Final Report Survey- the survey is intended to help you reflect on the Research Fund process from the time you received the call for proposals to this point in time that you are filling out your final report. Your insights on topics such as WMF support, sense of belonging, and peer learning and collaboration, will be key in reviewing any necessary adjustments to our process.
- Financial Reporting and Compliance- this section describes the grant's use of funds and verifies compliance. Please make a copy of the Google Doc and email the completed form to research_fund@wikimedia.org.
- Update your meta:Research page- as you conclude your projects, please make sure your meta:research pages are updated with the final information and include the following sections: introduction, literature review, methods and data, results, and conclusion. Please let us know by email when your meta:Research page has been updated and finalized.
