• Program Description

  Under the intellectual leadership of Martin Nowak, professor of biology and of mathematics at Harvard University, the Foundational Questions in Evolutionary Biology (FQEB) project aims to fund at least ten research projects to study foundational questions in evolutionary biology. The purpose of the FQEB project is to generate new kinds of knowledge and understanding in core areas in biology where there have been serious "missing knowledge problems." There are two core themes of this initiative:

  1. Evolutionary Origins and Dynamics
  2. Evolvability and the Evolution of Increasing Complexity
  Associated research projects will receive funding of up to $200,000 per year for up to two consecutive years. Work which has significant philosophical implications for evolutionary biology and science more broadly will receive priority. Applicants must have P.I. eligibility at their institution and an excellent track record of scientific productivity, as evidenced by publications.
