$100,000 Grant Fuels New Public Remote Viewing Research Initiative

A significant new funding opportunity has emerged for public-driven Remote Viewing research, with Social-RV announcing a $100,000 grant. The initiative garnered enthusiastic support from technologist and entrepreneur Deep Prasad, who, under his "yug-cybera" social media handle, declared, "> HUGE! This is a serious amount of funding for public driven Remote Viewing research. ESP capabilities belong to everyone, we all deserve to know how to use and improve ‘em!"

The "Request for Proposals - Exploring Expanded Consciousness through Remote Viewing" was officially published by Social-RV on September 9, 2025. This grant aims to fund projects investigating the purported ability to perceive distant or unseen targets through mental means, a field commonly known as Remote Viewing. Multiple applicants are eligible to receive portions of the total $100,000, with applications currently being accepted.

Deep Prasad, known as the CEO of StarVasa Corporation and ReactiveQ, has a public profile deeply invested in advanced technologies, space exploration, and the study of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and Non-Human Intelligence (NHI). His ventures, including the ambitious StarVasa and Yug-Cybera projects, focus on developing AI, quantum computing, and other technologies to facilitate humanity's future, including colonization of Mars. Prasad's broader interest in "anomalies" and "Open NHI" provides a conceptual framework for his endorsement of research into expanded human consciousness.

Remote Viewing gained prominence in the 1970s through research conducted at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), initially with funding from the CIA. Despite its historical backing, the scientific community largely regards Remote Viewing as pseudoscience due to a lack of consistently verifiable results under controlled conditions. Past government programs dedicated to the phenomenon were eventually discontinued after failing to produce actionable intelligence or replicable scientific evidence.

This recent funding from Social-RV marks a notable development for a field that has long operated on the fringes of mainstream science. The call for proposals suggests a renewed effort to systematically explore these capabilities, aligning with Prasad's expressed belief in the universal potential of "ESP capabilities." The outcome of this publicly funded research could reignite discussions surrounding consciousness, perception, and human potential, potentially offering new insights into anomalous phenomena.
