Simons Foundation

Last year, we supported programs that advanced the frontiers of research in #math and basic #science around the world. Our 2024 annual report dives deep into a handful of these endeavors: annualreports.simonsfoundation.org/2024/

RFP of the day: @SimonsFdn Autism Research Initiative invites applications for data analysis; up to $300,000 will be awarded in support of applications that use data that are publicly available and relevant to the basic science of autism bit.ly/4m0VtL5

💙 Meet the Simons Searchlight Team! We're scientists, clinicians, genetic counselors, data analysts & more. From research updates to survey help, we’re here for your family every step of the way. 💬🧬🤝 🔗 bit.ly/Simons_Searchl… #CareForRare #SimonsSearchlight

A new study from @Princeton and @FlatironInst researchers uses @SPARKforAutism data to reveal four distinct subclasses of autism. The work could open the door for more precise diagnoses and personalized support. simonsfoundation.org/2025/07/09/new… #science #autismresearch #FlatironCCB

Physicists Andrea Alù and Glennys R. Farrar and mathematician Michael L. Overton recently joined the Simons Society of Fellows as Senior Fellows. Read more: simonsfoundation.org/2025/07/02/sim… #science #math

At our next Presents, join us for a conversation with jazz saxophonist Marcus G. Miller, #FlatironCCM mathematician Dan Fortunato and #FlatironCCA's @cyrilcreque about the intersection between math and music. Get free tickets: simonsfoundation.org/event/riffing-…

Interested in applying for our SFARI Data Analysis RFA? Join our webinar this Wednesday, July 23 at 12pm ET to learn more about the opportunity: sfari.org/2025/07/01/app… #science #autismresearch

More than 50 Simons Foundation grantees have been selected to present at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia: simonsfoundation.org/2025/07/11/mor… #ICM2026 #math

The universe is not always smooth. At the centers of black holes, for instance, the math of space-time falls apart. New geometric tools might help reckon with this reality. quantamagazine.org/a-new-geometry…

Nestled in a 25-acre woodland outside Paris, the illustrious @Institut_IHES offers idyllic spaces for mathematicians and theoretical physicists to collaborate. Read about the foundation's long-term support of IHES in our 2024 annual report: annualreports.simonsfoundation.org/2024/frances-i… #science #math…

#FlatironCCB scientists @natsauerwald, @OlgaTroyanskaya and colleagues leveraged @SPARKforAutism data to reveal four distinct groups that link autism-related traits with underlying genetics. Read more: simonsfoundation.org/2025/07/09/new… #science #biology #autismresearch

Leaders in #math, #science and #philanthropy gathered last month to remember the incredible contributions of our co-founder Jim Simons and to inspire continued philanthropic support of basic research: simonsfoundation.org/2025/07/15/jim…

An exciting collaboration is underway. @_TheTransmitter is partnering with @neuromatch to serve the computational neuroscience community and help connect neuroscientists across all career stages. thetransmitter.org/neuromatch-par…

We are pleased to announce that mathematical physicist Robbert Dijkgraaf has rejoined our board of trustees: simonsfoundation.org/2025/07/08/rob… #science #math

There are two weeks left to apply for our Simons Graduate Fellowships in Ecology and Evolution! Deadline is 7/31: simonsfoundation.org/2025/06/02/sim… #science #ecology #evolution

New research suggests autism isn’t just one condition but at least 4 distinct subtypes, each with its own genetic signature and developmental trajectory. The findings could help pave the way for more personalized diagnoses and support. By @GiorgiaWithAnI bit.ly/4lXfbY7

The @S_Searchlight team had a great time at these #patientadvocacy conferences for these gene groups: ✨ MED13L ✨ CTNNB1 ✨ Coffin-Siris ✨ GRIN ✨ 5p- We shared data, helped families & answered Qs. Grateful to support these communities! 💛 🔗 simonssearchlight.org/why-join-simon…

The short film "Molecular Duet" brings the dynamic world of microtubules to life. A collaboration between #FlatironCCB researcher Mahsa Mofidi and filmmaker Anne Sofie Nørskov that was made possible by our Science, Society & Culture division's Symbiosis program. Watch in full:…

A new @NatureGenetics study from #FlatironCCB and @Princeton researchers leverages data from @SPARKforAutism to identify 4 distinct groups based on links autism-related traits and underlying genetics: simonsfoundation.org/2025/07/09/new… #science #biology #autismresearch

A new approach by researchers at #PrincetonU and @SimonsFdn enabled the discovery of four clinically relevant autism subtypes, which they linked to distinct genetic profiles and developmental trajectories. bit.ly/4lSwAkW

The @newyorkpost writes about our research team's work on identifying the four subtypes of autism. See story at the link below. @OlgaTroyanskaya @SimonsFdn @PrincetonCS nypost.com/2025/07/09/hea…
