- Sloan Foundation
-
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation is a private charitable foundation founded in 1934 by Alfred P. Sloan Jr., the longtime president of General Motors. Sloan witnessed first-hand how science and technology revolutionized the U.S. automobile industry and became convinced that scientific knowledge, responsibly developed and intelligently deployed, was the single best hope for the general advancement of human welfare. The Foundation makes grants in support of high-quality research and education in the natural sciences, technology, engineering, mathematics, and economics. We are proud to support the iGEM Competition through our Synthetic Biology Program, which supports efforts to engage scientists, ethicists, policymakers, students and the public with the complex array of social and ethical issues raised by research in synthetic biology.
