Rare disease research grants from AI for Science program

Last spring, we announced Anthropic's AI for Science program, an initiative designed to accelerate scientific research and discovery through access to our API. Since launching, we have supported researchers working on a variety of high-impact projects, ranging from drug repurposing to quantum simulation. Throughout this initiative, we have found that projects are more generative when multiple AI for Science grantees are working on related questions and exchanging tips. So we now plan to launch thematic calls for projects within the broader AI for Science program.

Today, we are sharing a focused call for AI for Science applications centered specifically on rare genetic diseases. Accepted applicants will receive up to $50,000 in Claude credits over six months, with the goal of building a community of researchers looking into how AI can reshape our understanding of rare disease.
