Accelerating progress in scientific research, environmental conservation and patient care

Gordon Moore is one of the most celebrated scientists and inventors of our time. To honor our visionary founder, we created the Moore Inventor Fellows program to nurture the next generation of scientists and inventors. With the creation of this ten-year fellowship program, we sought to encourage breakthroughs that accelerate progress in scientific discovery, environmental conservation, and patient care.  

In Spring 2025, we selected our tenth and final cohort, completing our mission to support “50 fellows to shape the next 50 years.” With this milestone, the Moore Inventor Fellows has fulfilled its commitment, and the foundation is no longer inviting nominations.

If you are a Moore Inventor Fellow (or working with one) please contact the Moore Foundation grant lead listed in your grant agreement or within the grantee portal.
