+# [`Chan Zuckerberg Initiative`](https://chanzuckerberg.com/eoss/)
+
+## About
+
+Open source software is crucial to modern scientific research, advancing biology and medicine while providing reproducibility and transparency. Yet even the most widely-used research software often lacks dedicated funding. CZI’s Essential Open Source Software for Science program supports software maintenance, growth, development, and community engagement for critical open source tools.
+
+## Eligibility Criteria
+
+We welcome applications from any country, provided the proposed work is compliant with the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) sanctions program.
+Applications may be submitted by non-profit and for-profit organizations, public and private institutions, such as colleges, universities, hospitals, laboratories, units of state and local government, companies, and eligible agencies of the federal government. As part of the full application process, for-profit organizations may need to provide additional information on the charitable purposes of the proposal. Grants are not permitted to individuals; only to organizations. Open source software projects operating independently must be affiliated with an organization, as described below.

+## Application

+# [`Protocol Labs Research`](https://github.com/protocol/research#private-retrieval)
+
+## About
+
+We are looking for research and development of interactive private communication mechanisms.
+Commensurate with scope, up to USD 150k per award for research grants and USD 300k per award for implementation grants.
+Works we are interested in funding include those which:
+
+Explore new mechanisms for private communication (e.g. with cryptographic, information theoretic, or statistical basis)
+Relax the traditional ‘web’ assumptions of a single origin to engage with the possibilities of pre-distributed CDN or content-addressed data.
+Prototype the use of novel network-layer privacy technologies in real systems.
+
+## Eligibility Criteria
+
+Implementation grant
+We expect that a team of 2-3 research engineers/developers working for 1-2 years will be sufficient to carry out the prototype development projects envisioned in this call, but we will consider other proposals. Renewals are possible.
+
+## Application
+
+We encourage you to reach out to `[email protected]` or visit `#private-retrieval` in the Lodestar Discord if you’re considering applying or have any questions.
