In its Environment and Sustainability grantmaking, the Compton Foundation seeks a balanced and healthy relationship between humans, other life, and the planet. The Foundation believes it is possible to pursue a holistic and sustainable vision that blends concern for environmental conservation and economic viability, links urban and rural priorities, and views humans as one part of the natural world. The Foundation has chosen three focus areas in which we feel we can make a meaningful contribution to realizing this vision in the United States.The Compton Foundation seeks to build and expand broad constituencies committed to taking action that will help foster a healthy environment. Over the short term we will support efforts to inform and motivate personal choices and to develop innovative political alliances. Over the long term, we hope to promote changes in public opinion and policy.
The Compton Foundation is particularly interested in projects that:
- Promote values that affirm sustainable relationships with land and water
- Defuse conflict and create spaces for people to find common ground
- Share best practices and lessons learned
- Encourage a diversity of experience, interest, and organizational scale in defining and addressing environmental issues
- Offer creative new approaches
- Foster environmentally informed, responsible citizens
The Compton Foundation does not fund conferences or marine projects. We do not usually fund land, water, or easement acquisitions, or place-based conservation or restoration projects unless they represent a new model of resource ownership or management and offer a plan for replication.

Exploratory Collaborations with National Centers for Biomedical Computing (R21)
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is for projects from individual-investigators or small groups to collaborate with the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBCs). The intention of the collaborating projects is to engage researchers across the nation in building an excellent biomedical computing environment, using the computational tools and biological and behavioral application drivers of the funded NCBCs as foundation stones. This FOA is intended to support exploratory biomedical informatics and computational biology researchapplications should be innovative, with high risk/high impact in new areas that are lacking preliminary data or development. Applications for R21 awards should describe projects distinct from those supported through the traditional R01 mechanism. For example, long-term projects, or projects designed to increase knowledge in a well-established area will not be considered for R21 awards.

In its Population & Reproductive Health grantmaking, the Foundation links population stabilization with peace and environment issues, and as such with broader social development and environmental goals.
In choosing Population & Reproductive Health as a major area of grantmaking, the Foundation recognizes that many complex factors pose a threat to human and ecological security. These factors are closely interrelated and include the status of women and the health and safety of families, as well as the dynamics of population growth, consumption, and technology. We also recognize that many factors threaten human reproductive health, including toxins in our environment. Our focus on Population & Reproductive Health is part of our commitment to a world that allows for the full richness of human experience, both personal and global. The Foundation believes that:
- on a global level, support for family planning services ultimately helps achieve a healthier planet, by reducing the contribution of population growth to environmental deterioration and violent conflict;
- on a personal level, support for reproductive health empowers women and contributes to improved health and quality of life for women, men, and children.
