+ 
+Colleagues,
+  Here is another COVID-19-related Funding Opportunity:
+ 
+Fast Grants for COVID-19
+
+Fast Funding for COVID-19 Science
+
+Science funding mechanisms are too slow in normal times and may be much too slow during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fast Grants are an effort to correct this.
+If you are a scientist at an academic institution currently working on a COVID-19 related project and in need of funding, we invite you to apply for a Fast Grant. Fast Grants are $10k to $500k and decisions are made in under 48 hours. If we approve the grant, you'll receive payment as quickly as your university can receive it.
+If you wish to apply to grants for scientific or biomedical COVID-19 projects, please apply through [https://FastGrants.org FastGrants.org].
+
+For non-scientific/biomedical COVID-19 projects, please apply through the Emergent Ventures application.
+
+ 
+The grants are currently supported by: John Collison, Patrick Collison, Paul Graham, Reid Hoffman, Fiona McKean and Tobias Lütke, Yuri and Julia Milner, and Chris and Crystal Sacca. These funders have committed over $10M to funding Fast Grant awardees.
+
+ 
+If you are an interested funder, please reach out: fund@fastgrants.org.
+
+Emergent Ventures
+Emergent Ventures, a fellowship and grant program from the Mercatus Center, seeks to support entrepreneurs and brilliant minds with highly scalable, “zero to one” ideas for meaningfully improving society.
