Moore Inventor Fellows

October 2, 2024

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation is inviting two (2) faculty members to submit applications for the 2025 Moore Inventor Fellows. Fellows will receive funding for three years at a level of $200,000 per year from the Moore Foundation. In addition to funds for the fellow, the foundation will provide $25,000 each year to the institution to cover costs associated with administering the grant award, resulting in a total three-year award of $675,000 from the foundation. As host institutions are required to contribute $50,000 in annual support of the inventor’s work, each fellow receives a total award of $825,000.

Inspired by Gordon Moore’s passion for discovery, this fellowship seeks to identify outstanding early-stage inventors. The fellowship is looking for individuals who are harnessing science and technology solutions to enhance scientific research, strengthen environmental conservation, or improve the experience and outcomes of patient care.

Interested applicants should follow the Limited Submission Pre-Proposal Instructions and only submit an electronic application by Friday, November 8th.
