The Brown Institute for Basic Sciences at Caltech was established in 2023 with a $400 million pledge from Caltech alumnus Ross M. Brown (BS' 56, MS '57). In this unique partnership, Caltech will administer the Brown Investigator Awards program supporting newly tenured faculty in chemistry or physics until 2070. The Brown Investigator Awards are intended to infuse the resources required to spark and encourage the researchers' creativity during a time when they are poised and prepared to make profound contributions to their fields.
