Grant funds are meant to help you run the proposed experiment. This usually includes reagents, consumables, basic materials, and lab-related fees such as community lab membership or bench fees when relevant. If you are unsure whether a cost fits, you can include it in your budget notes and explain how it supports the experiment.

Microgrants are up to $3,000 per project. Some awards may be smaller depending on the project scope, budget, and the size of the funding pool for that cohort.

Yes. Donors can choose whether they want to be publicly named, listed without an amount, or remain fully anonymous.

Primordia supports projects that can be carried out safely and legally in the applicant’s jurisdiction and within the policies of the host lab. Applicants are asked to describe where the work will take place and how they plan to handle safety, sourcing, and disposal. If a project involves restricted materials or activities that are not appropriate for the proposed setting, Primordia may ask for revisions or determine that it is not a fit for the program. Local laws and host lab safety rules always apply.
