Organization Profile
Foresight Institute
A long-running foundation advancing frontier technologies -- nanotech, longevity, AI safety, neurotech -- through grants (~$3M annual pool, $10k-$100k typical), fellowships, prizes, workshops, and physical AI Nodes hubs in San Francisco and Berlin (launching early 2026) that provide funding, office space, and compute. Its AI for Science & Safety grants have monthly deadlines and prioritize safety, with a strong emphasis on early-career researchers and high-impact projects.1,2,3
