Carnegie Corporation of New York
Program: 2025 Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program
Synopsis: Supports high-caliber research in the humanities and social sciences. University presidents may nominate one junior and one senior scholar. A senior scholar is defined as any holder of a tenured post. The continued focus of this opportunity is a response to the question “how and why our society has become so polarized and what we can do to strengthen the forces of cohesion in our society?” Fellows Program is open only to citizens or permanent residents of the United States who have been nominated by the head of an institution designated by Carnegie Corporation of New York. Candidates must have a Ph.D., hold a terminal degree, or be a high-level professional working outside of academia. Nominators include heads of independent research institutes and learned societies, university presidents, leaders of some of the nation’s preeminent think tanks, and directors of major publishers, as well as editors of leading newspapers and magazines. Individuals may not apply for the Fellows Program via self-nomination. While smaller awards and project support are acceptable, the program prohibits a fellowship winner from accepting a fellowship of equal caliber or at a comparable level of funding that overlaps the same timeline as the Carnegie fellowship, especially awards that have specific time requirements. 
Award details: $200K.

Smith Richardson Foundation
Program: Domestic Public Policy
Synopsis: Supports projects that will help the public and policy makers understand and address critical challenges facing the United States.  To that end, the Foundation supports research on and evaluation of existing public policies and programs, as well as projects that inject new ideas into public debates. The Foundation has developed a number of grant making portfolios.  A group of grants is focused on the challenges of identifying mechanisms that can inform thinking on fiscal practices at the national, state, and municipal levels.  Identifying how schools can become more productive by, for example, increasing the quality of the teacher workforce or adopting more effective curricula is another priority. Related to that is the Foundation’s building of a portfolio of projects on post secondary education that will focus on our contemporary economy’s requirement that individuals acquire education and training beyond high school. Finally, the Foundation is supporting work on the criminal justice system that will examine whether costs can be lowered while still protecting public safety.

Simons Foundation
Program: Solar Radiation Management (SRM)
Synopsis: Supports individuals or teams for research to fill fundamental scientific knowledge gaps relevant to SRM. SRM is an emerging collection of approaches, including stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), marine cloud brightening (MCB) and cirrus cloud thinning (CCT), designed to modify the Earth’s radiative balance and cool the planet. Although reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations is the only long-term strategy to mitigate climate change and other impacts, SRM might be able to ameliorate some of the negative impacts this century. However, SRM also may pose significant environmental and societal risks, including stratospheric warming, ozone depletion and changes in rainfall, thereby affecting water resources and agriculture. At present, not enough is known about SRM systems and their potential impacts to allow informed decision-making. Priority areas include (1) Environmentally benign materials discovery for SAI and CCT; (2) Laboratory physicochemical characterization of SAI and CCT materials and their interactions with light, clouds, atmospheric trace gases and with themselves or ambient aerosols, with the aim to improve microphysical inputs to existing climate models; (3) Approaches to minimize cirrus cloud formation, including from aircraft emissions; Assessments of near-field (<100 km) atmospheric turbulence and its impact on SAI and CCT interventions, primarily through modeling; and (4) Integration of improved representations of aerosols and turbulence into global-scale modeling, and characterization of global and regional impacts of novel materials for SAI and CCT. Eligible PIs and co-Investigators are tenured or tenure-track faculty, or equivalent, at an educational institution in a department with a Ph.D. program at the time of application and for the duration of the award. Current SRM awardees are not eligible to apply.

Award details: Maximum total award is $500K (direct and up to 20% indirect costs).
