John Templeton Foundation is a grant program that funds research and public engagement projects aligned with the foundation's core funding areas and ventures, which explore the intersection of science, philosophy, theology, and human flourishing. The foundation funds discrete projects at charitable organizations worldwide, including universities and research institutions; individuals and for-profit companies may only apply by staff invitation. The application process has two stages: an Online Funding Inquiry (OFI) followed by an invitation-only Full Proposal. Review cycles follow a published grant calendar, with the full review process typically taking up to four and a half months. Award amounts vary by project scope and are determined by board approval.

Life Sciences is sponsored by John Templeton Foundation. This funding area supports experimental, theoretical, and applied work on biological mechanisms, with an interest in innovative projects ranging from early-stage exploratory research to large initiatives. It explicitly mentions supporting projects in 'Emergent Properties' and 'Genetics and Genomics', which could encompass research on adipose organoid microphysiological systems if framed within these broader biological mechanisms.
