Our research model

\n


At the heart of our approach are our Programme Directors, who retain creative control over how and who they fund within the opportunity spaces they've defined. Our research model is built around two primary modes:

Our programmes are designed to advance complex, large-scale ideas which require coordinated investment and management across disciplines and institutions. To build a programme, each Programme Director directs the review, selection, and funding of a portfolio of projects which work in tandem to drive breakthroughs.

With smaller budgets and less structure than programmes, seeds support individual research teams to uncover new pathways that could inspire future programmes or might justify additional support as a standalone project.
