Our President, @kumargarg.bsky.social, joined Alex Kotran on the new aiEDU podcast to explore how AI can be implemented as a public and social good.

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Alex Dehgan as a Fellow at Renaissance Philanthropy! He’s working on scoping a multi-donor philanthropic fund with Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation for addressing fire in the Amazon.

Ever wonder what connects White House science policy, inspiring the next generation, and high-impact philanthropy? Our President @kumargarg.bsky.social has spent a career at the intersection—and shares what he’s learned on the Pathways to Progress podcast.

1/ As mathematics grows more complex, it's critical to verify what we prove, and iterate quickly to push the boundaries of our knowledge. AI-powered methods may be the key to do just that.

With support from the Schultz Family Foundation, we’re designing CareerNet—a new initiative to build benchmarks and build better AI tools for career discovery and navigation. Young people deserve tech that actually helps them find their path. Let’s help make it happen.

Be sure to catch @kumargarg.bsky.social in the session “The Science of Motivating Young People with Dr. Yeager” at ASU+GSV tomorrow. Kumar will facilitate a discussion with David Yeager from The University of Texas at Austin to explore his research and its implications for the future of education.

UPDATE: So excited to announce our newest program. Using a 15-week cohort model, goal is help more scientists design the type of ambitious research programs that were critical to advancements such as the Internet or mRNA vaccines. We plan to do multiple cohorts this year (info below).

Today we launched the Big if True Science (BiTS) Accelerator—an accelerator to train scientists & researchers in designing and executing bold, field-changing coordinated research programs. Powered by our partnership with @aria-research.bsky.social, BiTS will launch its first cohort in Spring 2025.

Some of the biggest scientific challenges require more than just grants or VC funding. Our new Coordinated Research Programs Playbook explores how actively managed, cross-disciplinary R&D efforts can drive real-world breakthroughs! renaissancephilanthropy.org/playbooks/co...
