We've seen success for Ebola related projects in the past: https://experiment.com/projects/can-we-defeat-ebola-with-an-...

Immunity Project had a huge amount of success rolling their own custom platform: https://www.immunityproject.org/

You're probably going to want to go with the platform with the community most likely to be interested in your project. In this case, my guess is that the backers are going to want to see progress in the research and not at all interested in any sort of tangible item in return. Transparency will make your community one of the strongest Ebola communities out there.

Experiment's stats are all transparent and updated in real time here: https://experiment.com/stats

Experiment can be very powerful if you convince the founding team to get behind your idea... Experiment is not for everyone, but if you want to build a passionate community and transform how we treat Ebola patients on the planet that's a pretty good pitch to the Experiment team to put in the extra effort. Our community is your community, so you keep your backers' info and we hope that you continue to foster that relationship for years to come online or offline.
