Scialog supports research, intensive dialog and community building to address scientific challenges of global significance. Within each multi-year initiative, Scialog Fellows collaborate in high-risk discovery research on untested ideas and communicate their progress in annual closed conferences. Through the give-and-take of community building, it is the Foundation's hope that Scialog Fellows grow better equipped to tackle ever more challenging multidisciplinary problems. Scialog is intended to: 1) support early career faculty to expand research in a focused area of high scientific importance; 2) encourage scientists to form multidisciplinary teams to tackle these critical challenges, and; 3) help transition awardees to obtain further funding for their innovative ideas. In 2023 six Scialog conferences were held at which grant proposals were received for the awards made.
