The Kavli Scholars grant offers short-term bridge funding up to $100,000 annually for six months to two years to scientists in astrophysics, nanoscience, neuroscience, or theoretical physics whose research has been disrupted by unforeseen events. It supports research continuity through host institutions, with nominations reviewed twice yearly and awards granted to maintain research momentum during challenging circumstances.
Eligible nominees must be actively engaged in fundamental research in specified fields and have experienced significant research disruption. Nominations must come from authorized Kavli-affiliated individuals or offices, and awards are administered by host research organizations.
