State of Berlin — disclosed institutional funder

The same page describes institutional funding of the Weizenbaum Institute by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space and the State of Berlin. That institutional credit is not proof those bodies funded this particular study or determined the tracker's categories. No funder approval, sampling instruction, editorial control or access to applicant records is disclosed in the inspected scopes. The authors' leadership, the project's open recruitment and application-support mission do establish a closer organiser/study relationship than an independent audit of platform decisions. The paper also argues for more resources for researcher intermediaries (PDF 35–36); that is a stated policy position, not an awarded new resource.

PolicyPDF2 attributes this joint Collaboratory project to Mercator Stiftung funding and says some paper authors lead it. The Weizenbaum Institute's separate institutional funding statement names the German federal ministry (BMFTR) and State of Berlin. A project grant and host-institution support are different resources; no amounts, donor conditions or reviewer rights are disclosed in these pages. The title-page author list and current homepage team are different dated roles and should not be collapsed into identical governance.
