The Eppley Foundation for Research aims to increase knowledge in pure or applied science, specifically in chemistry, physics, and biology, through supporting study, research, and publication initiatives. The Foundation seeks to fund novel and innovative research projects with a focus on making significant contributions to scientific knowledge.
The Eppley Foundation for Research has established a grant program with priorities in funding research projects that offer innovative approaches in medical investigations, address climate change issues, conduct whole ecosystem studies, and research on single species that play a critical role in their environments. This grant program is open to research initiatives both in the U.S. and internationally. A key criterion for the Foundation is that the proposed research must offer novel insights and should not be duplicative of work being conducted elsewhere. The Foundation is willing to support high-risk projects with the potential for high-impact outcomes.
