FOSSIL Sustainability
The FOSSIL Project has been supported by NSF Grant DRL-1322725 from 2013 to September 30th, 2019. While the myFOSSIL website and mobile app will remain available after the grant funding concludes, there will be no permanent staff dedicated to producing myFOSSIL content, social media, programs, and newsletters. We have developed an incredible community and have heard from many that there is interest in sustaining some of the myFOSSIL components through community effort. This forum is a space to brainstorm ideas and recruit volunteers!
