The Foundational Questions Institute, styled FQXi, is an organization that provides grants to "catalyze, support, and disseminate research on questions at the foundations of physics and cosmology."[1] It was founded in 2005 by cosmologist Max Tegmark,[2] who holds the position of Scientific Director. It has run four worldwide grant competitions (in 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2013, respectively), the first of which provided US$2M to 30 projects.[3] It has also run four essay contests open to the general public,[4] with $40,000 in prizes awarded by a jury panel.
