AI Innovation Institute

The Artificial Intelligence Innovation Institute (AI^3), with administrative support from the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR), invites applications to a seed grant program for collaborative projects in artificial intelligence, along three distinct tracks: Collaborative Research in AI, Technical Support for Discipline-Centric Research, and Seed Grants for AI Education and Service.

The program will fund projects for up to a one-year period, depending on the availability of funds. AI^3 anticipates making at least six awards on this call. A one-year, no-cost extension can be requested in the final 6 months of a project with approval subject to progress towards project goals and active participation in research themes.

Competitive applications will actively incorporate modern AI technologies into the work; integrate students; document significant potential for future funding or other growth-oriented outcomes; and highlight innovations.

The 2024 application deadline will be October 15, at 11:59 PM EST. Recipients will be notified by December 20, and projects are anticipated to commence at the start of the Spring 2025 semester.
