NEWS: Thanks to Blue Sky Collector who just donated $100, the NORD fund now only needs $400 more to go! Thanks Blue!
Regular readers will know that the rrr-tmau.org website has been raising awareness of the NORD TMAU Fund, which will send out requests for TMAU research proposals when it reaches a certain amount. Previously the fund would be triggered when it reached $35,000, but it has been recently changed to reaching $33,500. NORD give $30,000 to the research proposal that wins (the rest is NORD admin costs).
With the TMAU fund currently sitting at around $33,000, this means that only $500 is needed to trigger requests for research proposals into TMAU. The fund is of interest to experts because they can use it for preliminary research that may then have a better chance of qualifying for major grants. It also coincides with the yearly cycle of requesting for proposals, since they usually ask for requests in the springtime.

And so, the community is just $500 worth of donations away from the first major TMAU research for a very long time. Anyone wishing to donate, it's best to check the rrr TMAU fundraising site to see how.
