Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute and Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Partnership Grants

At the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and neuroscience is a mutually beneficial relationship with the potential to transform brain health, counter disease, and develop AI technologies inspired by the versatility and depth of human intelligence. To leverage this potential, the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute (Wu Tsai Neuro) and the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) jointly invite research proposals that support ambitious ideas and reimagine how neuroscience and AI work together to transform our understanding of the human brain and advance artificially intelligent systems. 

We especially seek proposals that can make a persuasive case that early results could catalyze further support from internal and external stakeholders. In keeping with the interdisciplinary missions of both institutes, we seek proposals from across the university that involve new collaborations between at least two independent co-Principal Investigators (co-PIs) who use different methodologies and/or work in different disciplines. The collaboration should bridge the fields of AI and neuroscience and yield stronger results than each discipline’s independent capabilities.

Duration and Budget

Successful proposals, selected by the Wu Tsai Neuro-HAI Grants Review Committee in consultation with the Wu Tsai Neuro and HAI leaderships, will be awarded up to $125,000 in direct costs for one year, less an 8% infrastructure charge.
