The Science and Technology Innovations Program advances promising research and technological developments that have the potential to expand knowledge, improve health, and protect the environment.
With the rapid pace of innovation in science and technology, The Paul G Allen Family Foundation strives to apply new ideas, discoveries, and information to complex regional and global challenges. The Foundation supports promising research and new technology development that have the potential to protect the environment, affect global health challenges, and expand our knowledge of the universe.
In order to accomplish these objectives, the Foundation supports multidisciplinary projects with clearly defined goals and milestones, measurable impacts, and a high potential for broad, long-term public benefit. Because projects address a wide range of topic areas, Foundation staff work closely with grantees to develop implementation plans and performance metrics.
Specific areas of interest include the following:
- Development and applications of technology to protect the environment and mitigate climate change
- Research and study of the intersection of neuroscience and the human genome
- Development or deployment of technology to expand our knowledge of the universe
- Research that results in breakthroughs in medical research and our understanding of biological systems
The Foundation solicits proposals directly from applicants who are, typically, research, academic, or scientific
institutions with demonstrated track records and deep expertise in the Foundation's areas of interest.
