Focus

Basic science

All-or-nothing crowdfunding for small research projects, with roughly a 48% success rate; junior investigators outperform senior ones. Typical uses are pilot data and trainee side-projects, and amounts are small relative to grant funding.

Why it's in this index

Rare-disease campaigns benefit from an engaged patient community, and BSF's network can amplify a campaign — which is the main reason this works better for BTHS than the raw success rate suggests.

Who can apply

Any researcher; projects are reviewed for scientific clarity and feasibility before going live. No institutional restriction.

How to apply
