OpenHumans and other grant possibilities

I saw that OpenHumans.org ("a platform that allows you to upload, connect, and privately store your personal data – such as genetic, activity, or social media data") is offering grants of up to USD$5000 for projects "that might help grow the Open Humans ecosystem".

One of the options for a project type is to "provide valuable new/novel data sources". I wonder whether they'd be interested in enabling import from Dreamwidth? This could be something an individual works on using the existing API/exporter tool and doesn't have to involve DW Studios. "This is open to both US-based and international individuals. No institutional or organizational affiliation is required."

I know Mad Price Ball, the co-founder and Executive Director, and IMO they are cool and trustworthy.

(I also wrote up a list of other grants available for open source work in case any of you are interested, for DW or other projects you work on!)
