- Funding available in two tiers: up to $1M or $1M–$5M+ for projects lasting 1–3 years
- Open globally to individual researchers, teams, and institutions; collaborations across geographic boundaries encouraged
- Access to cutting-edge compute resources, software engineering support, and API credits with frontier model providers
- Proposals should align with the research agenda’s aims: characterizing AI misalignment, developing generalizable measurements/interventions, and overseeing superhuman/multi-agent AI systems
