Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Technology

Grant-seekers with a relevant research project or meeting idea should submit a Letter of Inquiry of no more than two pages to Program Director Joshua M. Greenberg at greenberg@sloan.org. When Alfred P. Sloan Jr. created this foundation in 1934, he envisioned it would serve as a vehicle for the creation and dissemination of scientific and economic knowledge. Few technological advances have revolutionized those activities more than the development of modern computing and the subsequent explosion in our ability to collect, manipulate, store, analyze, and transmit data. Sloan's programs in Digital Technology explore how the internet and computing technology are creating new opportunities to empower the scientific enterprise and expand the public's access to knowledge.

  • • Data & Computational Research: The program goal is to accelerate scientific discovery by helping researchers fully exploit the opportunities created by recent advances in our ability to collect, transmit, analyze, store, and manipulate data.
  • • Scholarly Communication: The program goal is to empower researchers by supporting the development and adoption of new resources for managing the increasingly diverse array of digital communication channels, enabling scientists to more effectively locate relevant research, network with other researchers, and disseminate their work to the scientific community and the public.
  • • Better Software for Science: The program goal is to develop practices, norms and institutions that can better promote the development and adoption of discovery-enhancing software.
  • • Exploratory Grantmaking in Technology: The program goal is to identify areas at the intersection of research and technology where a strategic investment of Foundation resources might be leveraged to empower scholarship.
