I am not gonna spill the beans, but I feel it's been   a while since people heard about funding.

From what I understand, the goal is the advancement through science. So essentially any science project that demonstrate that getting funding will help the world move forward from either fixing a problem or finding something new.

I believe the goal is also to funds areas in need. Making a donation to a pharmaceutical company to develop a magic pill for cancer, as great as it would sound, is probably not the best investment because its an area where funding isn't the problem.

There is an excellent project currently in the pipelines, and I believe you won't have to wait much longer to hear about it. Personally, I'm thrilled to see Emc2 reaching for its goals once again.
