2026 Request for Proposals
We're soliciting proposals in two directions we consider especially promising: projects that raise the epistemic bar of the field, and theory-driven research on ReLU networks. Mathematicians especially welcome.
Open Call: Fund Your Bet
We fund new research organizations that meet a high standard of scientific rigor — predictive, mathematically founded theory and methodologically mature experiments. Tell us why we should fund your bet.
Expression of Interest
None of the open roles a fit? Tell us about yourself, and if the right opportunity comes up, we'll be in touch.
