A great opportunity accompanied by a stirring piece. IMO, scientific field-creation is not only one of the most heroic acts in science, but an act that most great minds are too risk-averse to dedicate their lives to. This is an exciting opportunity for great minds with courage.
BIG NEWS!
For the past few years, we've given scientists budgets so they can fund their peers with small, fast grants. Today, we're going bigger.
We're opening up a call to find and fund emerging "field builders"—people with the ambition and curiosity to kickstart a new field of science and technology. You'll get a budget of $70,000 to regrant (up to $10,000) out to projects and ideas and join a community of explorers.
Do you have an idea for a new field of science that *should* exist? Please apply!

Love the energy of "Become the science funder you want to see in the world"! Cool program by an awesome team backing people with money to give out as fast grants
Field Builders make the fields that make the future. More people should consider the role.
We’re backing at least 50 Field Builders to launch grant programs in emerging scientific fields. Each Field Builder will award $70,000 to researchers they recruit and receive a $5,000 honorarium for leading the work.
Applications for the Field Building Accelerator are open now through December 15, 2026: fieldbuilding.org/

Up to 50 people will receive $70k to give away, as microgrants, to create new scientific fields. Good opportunity!
