Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi): Research on the nature of time and other foundational questions in physics and cosmology

Given this context, FQXi offers grants programs that serve a three-fold purpos 

• To encourage and support rigorous, innovative, and influential scientific research and collaborations on foundational questions in physics and cosmology, which may have significant and broad implications for a deep understanding of reality

• To redress incrementalism in research programming by establishing or expanding new 'islands' of understanding via flexible funding of high-risk, high-reward research in these areas

• To provide the public with a deeper understanding of known and future discoveries in these areas and their potential implications for our worldview
