Funding: $2–4MM distributed via the S-Process, coordinated by funder Jaan Tallinn, with recommendations announced November 2026
Focus areas: Technical research on human self-enhancement technologies (e.g., intelligence enhancement, health, cognitive tools) and philosophical research on ethical frameworks for their development and deployment
Eligibility: Open to incorporated for-profits and registered charities (or fiscally sponsored entities); applicants must submit both the SFF Funding Rolling Application and the HSEE Supplemental Application by July 8, 2026
Process: Applications are reviewed by Recommenders with specialized HSEE expertise; a Speculation Grant (auto-requested via the rolling application) is required for guaranteed eligibility
