Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI)

Simons Professorships

For more than 10 years the Simons Foundation has given $100,000 each year to support the cost of bringing leading mathematicians to MSRI. In the last four years MSRI has hosted 23 Simons Professors.

Eisenbud Professorship

In 2007, the Simons Foundation awarded a grant of $10 million to establish MSRI’s endowment, which included a direct grant to endow the Eisenbud Professorship. To date, 40 mathematicians have spent time at MSRI with support from this grant.

In 2013, the foundation awarded additional funds to support postdoctoral fellows and senior participants at the institute.
