2019 Information as Fuel
The Information as Fuel program is FQXi's first RFP on experiments and is funded via a grant from Templeton World Charity Foundation.
The PIs listed were selected by a grant review panel and will be recommended for funding through a donor-advised fund at the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
