A pill-shaped label says “Bridging Neuroscience and AI.” Curved teal, pink, red, and white vertical stripes border both sides, with the Wu Tsai Neuro and HAI logos at bottom.

 

The Stanford Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute and Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) invite the Stanford research community to submit proposals for our AI and Neuroscience Partnership Grants.

The goal of this partnership is to support projects that have the potential to transform our understanding of the human brain using AI and advance the development of intelligent technology. Researchers with proposals that can make a persuasive case that initial results will catalyze further support from internal and external stakeholders are encouraged to apply.
