Annual Report
Autism Research Initiative
Simons Simplex Collection
The Simons Simplex Collection, which holds genetic, phenotypic and biological data from more than 2,600 simplex families, has helped lead the revolution in autism research.
SFARI Research Roundup
SFARI researchers published dozens of papers in 2014, encompassing genetics research, imaging studies, behavioral studies and other approaches to understanding autism.
Life Sciences
Project on Scientific Transparency
Neuroimaging datasets are expensive to obtain and cumbersome to share. The Project on Scientific Transparency aims to change all that.
Simons Collaboration on the Global Brain
Using new technologies to record activity from thousands of neurons simultaneously in the brains of awake, behaving animals, the collaboration aims to achieve a mechanistic understanding of brain processes.
Simons Collaboration on Ocean Processes and Ecology
Every teaspoon of seawater contains millions of microorganisms that we are just beginning to understand. The Simons Collaboration on Ocean Processes and Ecology aims to advance our understanding of the microbial processes that dominate the global oceans.
Simons Center for Data Analysis
Simons Center for Data Analysis
The Simons Center for Data Analysis (SCDA) includes six research groups that work to develop innovative methods for exploring the large datasets generated by new experimental technologies.
SCDA:
Systems Biology Group
SCDA’s systems biology group examines the links between the intricate machinery inside cells and the larger dynamics of the human body, such as the immune system and the microbiome.
Mathematics & Physical Sciences
Simons Collaboration
on Algorithms and Geometry
The Simons Collaboration on Algorithms and Geometry brings together mathematicians and computer scientists who work on a variety of questions at the interface of the two disciplines.
Simons Collaboration on
the Many Electron Problem
Investigators develop ways to solve the quantum mechanical behavior of systems composed of many interacting electrons, with the goal of revolutionizing our ability to calculate and understand the properties of materials important in everyday life.
Education & Outreach
Essay:
Driven by Data
Data would seem to be indispensable to both the hard and social sciences, but numbers are not always superior to other forms of evidence.
Mathematical Sciences Research Institute
The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute is committed to expanding public understanding and appreciation of mathematics. An outreach grant from the Simons Foundation supports their message on the national and online stages.
