<p>The foundation gives out substantial &#8220;<a href="http://www.ammonius.org/younger_scholars.php">Foundational Grants</a>&#8221; to support research in metaphysics and cognate fields. So far, these grants have only been given to men. The foundation also funds &#8220;Target  Investigation Grants&#8221; &#8211; though so far only one of these has been given out (to a man).</p>
<p>Alongside the more substantial grants, the foundation runs two annual prize schemes. The &#8220;<a href="http://www.ammonius.org/younger_scholars.php">Younger Scholars in Metaphysics</a>&#8221; prize can at least boast one woman (Rachael Briggs) among its 10 recipients; both the winner of the &#8220;<a href="http://www.ammonius.org/winning_essays_philosophy.php">Younger Scholars in Philosophical Theology</a>&#8221; have been men.</p>
