New Science is building new institutions of basic science.

Over the next several decades, New Science will create a network of new scientific institutes pursuing basic research while not being dependent on universities, the NIH, and the rest of traditional academia and, importantly, not being dominated culturally by academia.

We intend to both enable researchers who would’ve been working in traditional academia to work on problems they could not work on in academia and to increase the absolute number of people who work on pushing the frontier of science, by attracting those who want to pursue basic research but would not have chosen to pursue a career in traditional academia.

Grants and Fellowships

We are most interested in supporting early-career and independent researchers, those with unorthodox background, and people working across disciplinary lines and on “zero-to-one” projects. We do not fund for-profit projects.
