The Simons Foundation is a private foundation established in 1994 by Jim and Marilyn Simons in New York City, focusing on advancing the frontiers of research in mathematics and the basic sciences. The Foundation is known for its support of projects and researchers in mathematics, theoretical computer science, and theoretical physics, as well as its significant contributions to life sciences, including initiatives in autism research through its establishment of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI). The foundation also fosters science outreach and education through funding collaborations, grants, and symposiums. One of its notable projects includes the Flatiron Institute in New York, which is dedicated to computational sciences. Through its various programs, the Simons Foundation seeks to stimulate breakthrough discoveries in science, facilitating innovative research environments and opportunities.
