Kavli invests in institutes

Philanthropist instigates second round of funding.

US philanthropist Fred Kavli has embarked on a second round of grants of up to $5 million to each of the 15 research institutes that were established in his name. The grants, Kavli told Nature, are conditional on the institutes finding gifts from other donors so that they can establish endowments of $20 million.
