Research Accelerator Week offers a fast-tracked, fully supported pathway for technical researchers to launch independent AI safety research projects with funding, collaborators, and institutional backing.
- Receive expert guidance on research ideas, proposal development, and alignment with funder priorities
- Access a dedicated funding pathway, workspace, accommodation, meals, and travel/visa support
- Find collaborators or work solo, with structured team formation and feedback throughout the week
- Benefit from fiscal sponsorship, so you don’t need a university or nonprofit to hold your grant
