Get paid to do your own ML research
I'm launching an experimental research grant that I call Cat's grant (I'll find a better name later). tldr: - you get paid to do your own research and report to me - you keep IP/ownership rights - 10 months duration - choose a grant size of $10k, $50k or $100k total (paid in monthly chunks) - Apply by sending an email to [email protected] How it works: You specify the grant size when applying: 10k, 50k and 100k. This total amount will be distributed over a period of 10 months. I will review each application within 1 week. The deadline to apply is June 9. The start date is flexible…

In plain words
Cat's grant is a research funding program that provides researchers with financial support to conduct independent studies while retaining intellectual property rights. Applicants choose a grant size of $10,000, $50,000, or $100,000, distributed monthly over 10 months, with flexible start dates between June and September. The program is designed for researchers who want to pursue self-directed projects with minimal oversight, requiring only progress reporting to the grant provider.

Hi HN, Last year, we launched a non-profit AI research lab called AI Grant (http://aigrant.org). Our goal is to fund promising people around the world working on AI. No strings attached. We've since given away over $100,000 to 30 teams working on different projects. You can see some of them here: http://aigrant.org/#finalists. We just started accepting applications for our third batch! The academic grant application process is burdensome. It's only avalible to a choice few. Applications take days to complete. AI Grant is open to anyone on the internet. You can apply…
- SFSan Francisco Compute – 512 H100s at <$2/hr for research and startups2023 · sfcompute.org · ▲727
Hey folks! We're Alex and Evan, and we're working on putting together a 512 H100 compute cluster for startups and researchers to train large generative models on. - it runs at the lowest possible margins (<$2.00/hr per H100) - designed for bursty training runs, so you can take say 128 H100s for a week - you don’t need to commit to multiple years of compute or pay for a year upfront Big labs like OpenAI and Deepmind have big clusters that support this kind of bursty allocation for their researchers, but startups so far have had to get very small clusters on very long term contracts, wait…
Atom, find grants based on your research interests2023 · atomgrants.com · ▲5Hi HN, I've built a grant discovery tool to help researchers speed up the grant application process. You can try out the grant search engine without signing up but for the personalized email newsletter but you will have to sign up and create a profile with your research interests. Please let us know if you have any feedback :) Background: My co-founder and I come from research backgrounds and one of the most common complaints we heard is how much time PI's spend finding and applying for funding (up to 50% of a researchers time) It currently takes 2-3 weeks to find the right grant to apply…
