Founded in 1979, the Society for Medical Decision Making is a professional research organization that consists of approximately 1,000 members worldwide. They promote scientific and methodological rigor in health care decision research and its application to health policy and clinical care. The society aims to advance medical decision-making research and practice to improve health outcomes. Last year, the foundation partnered with the society and others to launch a COVID-19 rapid response grant initiative to catalyze innovation in COVID-19 response decision models for rapid uptake and impact.

Moore Foundation aims to advance the frontier of experimental physics
We announced our new $190.5 million initiative to advance the basic research frontier in experimental physics. The Moore Investigators Experimental Physics Initiative will provide five years of research support to scientists who are at least five and not more than ten years past their initial faculty appointment in a U.S. university. In addition to research funds for each investigator, there will be an instrumentation fund available to each cohort of investigators. The investigators will also convene each year to help stimulate their research and break down barriers between fields.

Harvey Fineberg's continued work on COVID-19
In recent months, Harvey Fineberg, Moore Foundation president, has penned opinion pieces for the Journal of the American Medical Association and for Bridge, a publication of the National Academy of Engineering, and served as the keynote speaker at the Schmidt Futures Forum on Preparedness. At the Futures Forum on Preparedness, he described leading the standing committee of the National Academies that continues to distill emerging science on COVID-19 to help inform policymakers. The editorial for the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) discussed the overall toll of the pandemic, both in the number of deaths, and in other health burdens. For the National Academy of Engineering, he explained the pandemic as a complex, unifiable system.
