Research Grants
Summary
Note: The SIAI Research Grant Program is not public at this time. SIAI and FHI will begin the program once pilot funding is secured. If you are interested in funding the program, please contact us.
Research grants are awarded to doctoral students, postdocs and senior scientists pursuing promising research projects in one of our focus areas:
- Foundations of Reflection
- Friendly AI
- Existential Risks
SIAI supports novel research to foster scientific understanding in our focus areas, which remain severely underfunded by traditional institutions. The relevance of your proposal to one of our focus areas must be explicit.
Grants are awarded initially for a period of three months, six months, or one year. Grants for advanced doctoral students range from $5,000 to $15,000. Grants for postdoc and senior researchers range from $10,000 to $80,000. SIAI has no preference regarding an applicant's location, institutional or departmental affiliation, country of residence, or nationality.
Applications must be received by [Date]. Final selections are made in [Month]. Grants ordinarily commence on [Date], but later starting dates may be requested if the nature of the research makes this appropriate.
