Research Accelerator Week

Find collaborators and secure funding for your independent AI safety research.

Research Accelerator Week provides a faster, better-supported route into independent AI safety research.

Most AI safety funding works like this: you write a proposal, submit it into a void, wait months, and hope you have an institution willing to host your grant.

This is different. It’s a funding round with built-in support.

Working with Coefficient Giving, we offer:

  • A dedicated funding pathway for programme participants, regardless of whether CG's public RFP is open

  • Expert input on your research ideas and grant proposal

  • Direct guidance on how your proposal aligns with CG’s funding priorities

  • The chance tofind collaborators to work with on your research

  • Fiscal sponsorship through Meridian, so you can start work immediately

We also provide the workspace, travel and visa support, accommodation and meals.
