Simons Investigator Award - Origins of Life
Simons Foundation
5 year Award Simons Foundation: Advancing Research in Basic Science and Mathematics Simons Collaboration on the Origins of Life The Origin of Life is one of the great unsolved scientific problems of our age. The purpose of the Simons Collaboration on the Origins of Life is to advance our understanding of the processes that led to the emergence of life. The Collaboration aims to support creative, innovative research on topics including the astrophysical and planetary context of the origins of life, the development of prebiotic chemistry, the assembly of the first cells, the advent of Darwinian evolution, and the earliest signs of life on the young Earth. The Collaboration will involve Simons Investigators, listed below, and also Postdoctoral Fellows who will be chosen by competition. Research by participants in the Collaboration will address one or more key questions regarding origins. https://simonsfoundation.org/funding/funding-opportunities/life-sciences/simons-collaboration-on-the-origins-of-life/simons-collaboration-on-the-origins-of-life-lisa-kaltenegger/
