We work to advance scientific discovery through grantmaking, research and public engagement.
About us
The Simons Foundation’s mission is to advance the frontiers of research in mathematics and the basic sciences. Since its founding in 1994 by Jim and Marilyn Simons, the foundation has been a champion of basic science through grant funding, support for research and public engagement. We believe in asking big questions and providing sustained support to researchers working to unravel the mysteries of the universe. The Simons Foundation makes grants in four areas: Mathematics & Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Autism & Neuroscience, and Science, Society & Culture. Our Flatiron Institute was opened in 2016 and conducts scientific research in-house, supporting teams of top computational scientists.

The Rockefeller Institute of Government recently announced the six scientists in the inaugural New York State Science Policy Fellowship cohort. Funded by the Simons Foundation and Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the program allows fellows to lend their technical and scientific expertise to state policymakers while gaining hands-on state government experience. https://lnkd.in/ehcmTsGH #science
