I guess the words "SENS and Mprize" could also be links to explanations of the two things, and maybe there could be an additional link to why we promote both.
I guess we could have a little thing next to the SENS button highlighting that only those (and "you decide") get matched.
I think if these were to be implemented, the probability of misunderstandings would be greatly reduced.
Perhaps rather than have "SENS" and "Mprize" themselves as links there could be "(more info...)", "(what's this?)" etc. links in parentheses after the "SENS" and "Mprize" words.
Also after SENS one would include some kind of notification that the matching challenge applies ONLY to that one. (Maybe in red as to stick out from the body of text).
These are of course only subjective preferences, and whatever the implementation I think the above ideas itself would help.
Duke, I currently count **four** places on the home page and **four more** on the Donate page where the matching grant is mentioned, and in **every single one** it specifies "SENS" or "Research" or both. How can you be confused by that?
The logo on the header states only the word "research". So to people who have no idea of specifics of SENS and Mprize it might easily mean both, as there is nothing to imply that Mprize would not include research. Of course if one would read the first paragraph it would be somewhat clearer that the match is only for SENS, but it can't be assumed that people read all of that. So either fixing the logo or adding the little text next to choices that get matched as stated previously would help. Preferably both.
