Templeton Foundation’s Research Grants invest in bold ideas from contrarian thinkers — ideas that cross disciplinary boundaries and challenge conventional assumptions. Further, the Foundation funds innovative programs that engage the public with these ideas, in an effort to open minds, deepen understanding, and inspire curiosity. The Foundation is accepting proposals aligned with its funding areas: Character Virtue Development; Individual Freedom & Free Markets; Life Sciences; Mathematical & Physical Sciences; Public Engagement; and Religion, Science, and Society. Please review the funding areas to understand more about the Foundation’s specific interests. OFR Contact: Chloe Taft Kang. Amount: Not specified (recent grants averaged $1.4M).
