The fund is interested in three sorts of projects: Activities directly related to astronomy and education, support for "smaller telescopes", and projects that involve interesting, perhaps novel, telescopes, detectors, etc.
I support activities that get the public and expeicially schoolchildren interested in astronomy. This covers both semi-formal class-type activities and more general "introduction to astronomy" activities.
Elsewhere at this site I discuss the role of smaller telescopes.
As opportunities arise, I support the use of existing "smaller telescopes".
I would like to find some small "pilot project" opportunities that would explore novel research telescopes and/or instrumentation.
I looked at Lucky Astronomy when it was new, but then it "caught on" and is receiving ample support. I am looking at creating an "Incoherent array of smaller telescopes" per Disney.
If you would like suggest/propose a project for Sciences Fund support, contact me at my homepage
