Coming soon Capacity-building Grant
AI for Research Capacity Grant
Training for researchers in the responsible use of AI tools across the research process — from literature review to data analysis.
This is a planned grant concept and is not yet open. Eligibility criteria, value and deadlines will be published when the Foundation opens the call.
Overview
AI tools can accelerate literature review, coding, data analysis and writing — but they also introduce risks to accuracy, originality and research integrity. This grant concept supports training that helps researchers use AI productively while maintaining rigour, transparency and ethics.
Who can apply
Intended for: Faculty & lecturers, Research institutions, Researchers.
Detailed eligibility criteria will be published when this call opens.
How applications are assessed
Selection criteria will be published with the call.
Applications are screened for eligibility and completeness, reviewed and scored by qualified reviewers who have declared any conflicts of interest, and decided by an authorised committee. Automated tools may help check completeness, but funding decisions are always made by people. Read the grant guidelines.
