Topic: Simons Foundation

The Simons Foundation invites two-year research proposals that use Empire AI's multinode GPU clusters to address fundamental questions in computational astrophysics and physics, computational biology, mathematics, neuroscience or computational physical chemistry. Proposals must develop and use foundational machine-learning models for the scientific problem; data curation may be considered only when the resulting data are used to solve scientific problems within the same proposal. The programme expects to fund six to twelve awards from a total budget of six million US dollars.

Saavik Ford gives a public lecture in the Simons Foundation's 2026 Black Holes series, which examines black holes from stellar remnants to supermassive galactic objects through observational breakthroughs and theoretical advances.
