Kavli Scholars Program
The Kavli Scholars program is an opportunity to support faculty members through a shared naming opportunity at the University between the Kavli Foundation and other partners. Two matching donors have been established so far to establish one Simons-Kavli Scholar (through the generosity of Marilyn and Jim Simons), and two Grossman-Kavli Scholars (through partnership with the Sanford Grossman Charitable Trust). Each Kavli Scholar will be selected from among the entire Columbia faculty community, on a competitive basis, by the director and co-directors of KIBS at Columbia University, in consultation with an external advisory group. Faculty recipients will be appointed for a three-year period, on a rotating basis, to ensure flexibility in funding support across the range of relevant faculty at critical stages in their research programs.
