Affiliate Research Support Programs:

Many Wikimedia Affiliates, such as chapters and user groups, have developed programs that help pay for, sponsor or distribute research support. This is a central page for those affiliates to list what programs they have available so that the larger Wikimedia movement, and may be of interest to editors, beyond those active in the affiliates main language specific Wikipedia Library branch that affiliate supports.

For other types of support programs from Affiliates, see Grants.
