My Project Has Been Funded. What's Next?

For Scientist:

Promote the project to colleagues, friends, etc.., but most important is to promote the offering to the community which is concerned with your solution.  For example if you are scientist doing environmental science, then alert a group such as the Sierra Club of your work, or an industry group that may be interested in your outcomes. The key is to build a following of citizens, corporations, and organizations that want you to put your proposal in action and may want to support you year after year.  So think of a strategy to build you r community of followers.

For Donors:

Participate! Make Science Happen. Fund some projects. Promote the projects to your network and followers!  Amplify your impact to make your selected project a reality.  Once that project is funded and commenced, you can expect a report/feedback from the scientist.   Create a portfolio/team of science projects that you are a champion for.
