#SciFund Round 4 success and social media

The #SciFund Challenge is a crowdfunding effort for science. The fourth round ran during the months of February and March, 2014, and raised $55,272 for 23 scientific research projects, primarily in biology.

This dataset compiles basic project information and some related social media measures. The social media data here were compiled from public sources (e.g., the Experiment website, video hosting counts) as soon as possible after the completion of #SciFund (i.e., within the day after the projects closed).

More information about this round of the challenge can be found on the #SciFund wesbite.
