About Fundación Alejandro Ángel Escobar

Fundación Alejandro Ángel Escobar is a Colombian prize-making foundation that recognizes high-impact scientific research and outstanding social development work rather than running a traditional open grantmaking program. Its awards emphasize rigorous scholarship in the natural sciences, social sciences, and environmental sustainability, alongside institutional initiatives that deliver concrete social benefits in areas like health, education, housing, and protection. It also supports biodiversity research through scholarship programs, suggesting a strong interest in evidence-based knowledge generation and conservation in Colombia.

Giving Approach

Primarily annual, competitive, prize-based support with a formal call for nominations/applications; awards include an unrestricted monetary prize plus medal and diploma. Support appears to be selective and prestige-oriented, with separate tracks for individual researchers and institutions, and a smaller scholarship stream for biodiversity research.
