Utilizing the Full Power of Empire AI Request for Applications
The Simons Foundation (SF) intends to support cutting-edge mathematics and basic science research, drawing on the advanced computational power of the Empire AI.
Toward this goal, SF plans to initiate a new program to fund six to 12 proposals through a competitive open call to the Empire AI research community.
A successful proposal will outline an ambitious two-year research program in one of the following fields, or at their intersections: computational astrophysics and physics, computational biology, mathematics, neuroscience and computational physical chemistry. Each proposal will necessarily rely on the development and utilization of foundational machine learning models, aimed at solving problems of fundamental importance in the above-listed disciplines.
Computational biophysics, neuroscience, ecology and evolution, plant biology, optimal transport, multiscale physics, fluid dynamics and numerical general relativity are representative examples of fields that could use multinode clusters of GPUs of Empire AI, which is a requirement of the program. All submitted proposals should detail how their work will use multinode clusters of GPUs in Empire AI. Proposals focused on data curation and creation of datasets can be considered in exceptional cases, as long as the attained data will be used by the proposers for solving scientific problems as part of the same proposal.
The program’s total budget is expected to be $6 million USD over a two-year period.
Funding
Award Amount: There is no maximum budget total for an individual award. The total amount requested should reflect the proposed research. All award amounts are inclusive of indirect costs (see our grant policies). Please note that we anticipate funding six to 12 applications. The total program’s budget of $6 million USD over two years will be spread across all awards.
Award Duration: June 1, 2027, through May 31, 2029.
Number of Awards: We expect to select six to 12 applications for funding.

Mickey Mandelblatt Memorial Scholarship Fund
About the Fund
Mickey Mandelblatt lived a life defined by compassion, achievement and an unwavering commitment to helping others. Born March 16, 1946, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mickey grew up in a close-knit family with his two sisters, Carole and Nancy. After graduating from Germantown High School in 1963, he attended Penn State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in accounting before launching a successful career.
Mickey began his professional journey at Price Waterhouse, where he rose to the position of senior manager and earned his CPA certification. In 1978, he joined Pantry Pride, one of the nation’s largest supermarket chains, and was soon asked to relocate to Fort Lauderdale to help lead the company’s turnaround. His leadership was instrumental in Pantry Pride’s historic emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and he was named chief financial officer in 1983. Following the sale of Pantry Pride in 1986, Mickey pursued a career in money management.
While his professional accomplishments were impressive, Mickey’s true passion was his family and community. Married for 26 years to his wife, Charlotte, he was a devoted father to their three children: Eric, Ali and Kasey. Friends and family remember him as a man whose mission was to enrich the lives of those around him — a mission he fulfilled with unmatched generosity and heart.
To honor Mickey’s legacy and continue his work, his family established the Mickey Mandelblatt Scholarship Fund at the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties. The fund supports scholarships for students who demonstrate both need and promise — helping future generations realize their potential and, in doing so, realize Mickey’s dream of a more equitable world.
