About AI Safety Grants for Public University

Public universities are advancing AI safety through foundational research, algorithm validation, and interdisciplinary threat modeling projects. The 5,305 active grants in this category are led primarily by the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. National Science Foundation, funding work that bridges computer science, ethics, and policy development to address emerging risks in artificial intelligence systems.

Awards typically range from $400K to $1.2M, with 90% awarded through competitive selection. Most grants support research or capacity-building initiatives without cost-sharing requirements, reducing institutional burden. Narrow results by funding agency if your research aligns with NSF's AI safety priorities or NIH's human-centered AI applications.
