(Why the Science Foundation has chosen to support basic science)

We're building a nonprofit to fund basic science! Traditional RFP / grant review process, broad eligibility; small grants (at first), fast review, broad domains.

We're aiming for a first round of grants this fall - support us at science-foundation.org/donate, let's make this happen!
