New Frontiers in Astronomy and Cosmology

 THE OPPORTUNITY:

Arete supported Donald York, professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics, in working with the John Templeton Foundation to launch the New Frontiers in Astronomy and Cosmology program, which supports bold, innovative ideas with potential to expand boundaries and deepen the foundation of scientific inquiry and catalyze breakthrough discoveries on Big Questions in astronomy and cosmology.  The New Frontiers program pursued these objectives through a worldwide grant competition and a concurrent essay contest for high school and college students.
