This Indiegogo campaign to fund a mice longevity study seems like it might interest some here. (Found on Facebook. I haven't encountered scientific research using crowdfunding before, but the campaign page appears genuine. Please note that I am not skilled at spotting crackpottery on crowdfunding sites, so it appearing genuine to me should not be taken as strong evidence of anything.)

Microryza, crowd-funding for scientific research. I'm a bit concerned that excessive dignity (no premiums-- would giving out bookmarks really interfere with research?) might interfere with their mission.
