For the next three months, we’ll be launching a few special research initiatives called Challenge Grants. It’s a continuation of our program to highlight certain areas of science that are important and exciting.

Each challenge will feature 10–20 projects reviewed by our team and other Experiment scientists.

Freshwater Ecology, Caves, Zoos & Museums, Aging & Senescence, Birds, Bees, Adolescent Psychology, Fermentation Science

NOVEMBER (10)

Basic Income, Sports Medicine, Artificial Intelligence, Trash, Cognitive Enhancers & Drugs, Civil Rights & Black Lives Matter, Political Science, Macroeconomics & Finance, Planetary Astronomy, Public Health, Cartography & Exploration

DECEMBER (12)
