I do not follow. Could you clarify please? Who is going to fund and what is the criteria they are using?
One of the things that made me think of doing this was Nat Friedman's (GitHub co-founder) project, PlasticList[1].
The idea was to give consumers real-world data to inform their decisions around avoiding/minimising microplastics. Some sources are orders of magnitude worse than others, so this potentially allowed people to eliminate a large portion of their exposure by just avoiding the products with the largest amounts.
This was a project that someone wanted to happen and was willing to pay for, but for whatever reason wasn't being done by the usual institutions (universities, governments).
The idea of this post is to give people who have money a way to find out about other projects that fit this shape, so they can fund them.

Project: Jaw Health (https://jawhealth.org)
Purpose: raise awareness of the jaw epidemic.
Background: changes related to agriculture and industrialisation are causing our jaws to grow smaller and more backwards and downwards. This is behind much of the prevalence of malocclusion (crooked teeth), sleep-disordered breathing (inc. sleep apnea), and jaw joint problems we see. It's being ignored because a) historical separation of dentistry and medicine -- neither GPs nor dentists are trained to recognise it, and b) it challenges the business model of orthodontics (common procedures such as extractions and retraction can cause or make issues worse; if orthodontics accepts the jaw epidemic idea as stated then almost all practitioners will have to retrain significantly).
Funding needed: Living expenses for one person + server costs, ~£700 per month.
Possibilities for further funding: improving website, running ad campaigns for awareness.
Clicky: https://www.jawhealth.org
The webpage rally needs a few photos or at least drawings.
Does $700 include food and rent, or only the webpage and other parts of the project?
Thanks for the feedback. That is total cost for all my living expenses and the project.
Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic
Modern environments and lifestyles have changed our jaw development dramatically, contributing to the high prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (snoring through to obstructive sleep apnea), chronic tension, jaw joint problems, and orthodontic need.
