Terasem Movement Grant Policy Grant
Program Description
Terasem Movement provides a limited number of grants to help institutions and organizations secure improvement support for their research programs and resources. Terasem does not receive any goods, services, funds or benefit in return for providing the grant.
Eligible Applicants
Any U.S. nonprofit organization working wholly or in part in the area of diversity, unity, and joyful immortality via geoethical nanotechnology and personal cyberconsciousness may apply for a grant. Applicants are required to provide documentation of their tax exempt status, including their tax exempt identification number.
Organizations are permitted to apply for and hold only one Terasem Movement grant at a time, but they are eligible to apply for subsequent grants one year from the time the initial grant was offered.
Activities Supported
Grants most commonly augment or establish research that advances one of the following areas: geoethical nanotechnology, personal cyberconsciousness, or biostasis revival.
Terasem will evaluate grant applicants on the extent to which (1) the work proposed to be funded furthers a practical immortality that is joyful as opposed to merely technical, (2) the work to be funded implements such immortality via geoethical nanotechnology and/or personal cyberconsciousness, (3) the work to be funded specifically contemplates the promotion of cognitive and substrate diversity as a core value, and (4) the work to be funded specifically contemplates the promotion of broad-based unity as a core value.
Applications will be evaluated 20% on each of these four factors, plus 20% on overall presentation and integrity.
Amount of Award
Successful candidates will be offered one annual grant up to the amount of $4000 US Dollars per grantee. A higher grant amount is permitted only upon approval by the board of directors. The requested grant amount should be appropriate to the needs and capacity of the institution.
