Funding Program: Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology (Theory)
The source text explicitly confirms all three key fields: (1) name is 'Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology (Theory)' or 'Feynman Theory Prize', (2) budget is $5,000 as stated in the categories section, and (3) status is 'open' as evidenced by the 2026 deadline (31 July 2026) and the call to 'Nominate for the 2026 prizes', indicating the program is actively accepting nominations and is ongoing.

Annual $5,000 prize for theoretical work advancing molecular manufacturing — the construction of atomically-precise products through molecular machine systems. Named after Richard Feynman's 1959 lecture 'There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom.' Two Feynman Prize recipients later won Nobel Prizes: David Baker (2004 Feynman → 2024 Chemistry Nobel) and J. Fraser Stoddart (2007 Feynman → 2016 Chemistry Nobel).- Program Type
