Safety Research Grants: How to Apply

Proposal requirements

Your proposal must include, at minimum, the following:

A 1-page summary of the project, in English, explaining the research agenda
A list of the principal investigator(s) (PIs) and expected contributors with their CVs attached
Location and organizational details including tax ID and admin contact information if applicable.
Primary contact email address

Please send proposal materials to [email protected].

Proposals will be evaluated on the following criteria:

Relevance: How directly does the proposal address important problems in model safety, either open- or closed-weights?
Feasibility: How likely is the project to succeed given the proposed plan, resources, and team?
Construct validity: For evaluation-focused proposals, how well do the proposed metrics actually capture the capabilities they claim to measure?
Simplicity and generality: How easy is the method or evaluation to implement, reproduce, and apply across different settings?

We will work together for up to 6 months providing model access and support along the way, with scheduled check-ins tailored to your timeline.
