"Center for AI Safety AI and Society Fellowship for Economists, Legal Scholars and International Relations Researchers Studying Advanced AI" is currently closed and not accepting applications.
The AI and Society Fellowship is deliberately not a machine learning programme. CAIS built it for scholars in economics, international relations, law and adjacent fields such as political philosophy and security studies, examining how advanced AI may reshape social, economic, geopolitical and legal systems and how institutions should respond.
Named research areas include the distribution of wealth and power, developer accountability, and state technological competition.
For a social scientist or legal academic who has wanted to work on AI risk but found that technical alignment programmes have no place for them, this is one of the few purpose-built routes, and the eligibility bar reflects that: professors at full, associate or assistant rank, PhD or JD holders, current PhD or JD students, or researchers with equivalent experience, all with a demonstrated record of producing high-quality research.
Structurally it is a short, in-person, summer-shaped commitment: three months from 1 June to 21 August 2026, based in person at CAIS offices in San Francisco, with a 25,000 dollar stipend, travel covered and daily meals provided.
Fellows work autonomously on their own research while drawing on CAIS expertise and networks rather than being assigned to a supervisor's agenda, and expected outputs are correspondingly varied - blog posts, papers, theoretical models, or lecture series addressing AI's societal impacts.
The in-person requirement in San Francisco is the binding practical constraint for most candidates, particularly those with teaching obligations or family commitments, and it should be resolved before applying rather than after selection. The documented deadline of 24 March 2026 at 11:59 PM PDT has passed for the 2026 cohort; the fellowship page is the place to check for the next cycle.

Background should be in economics, international relations, law, or an adjacent field such as political philosophy or security studies; this fellowship is aimed at social science, legal and policy scholars rather than machine learning researchers. A demonstrated record of producing high-quality research is required. The fellowship runs three months, from 1 June to 21 August 2026 for the documented cohort, and is held in person at CAIS offices in San Francisco - remote participation is not offered, so candidates must be able to relocate for the period and should confirm visa and institutional arrangements before applying. The stipend is 25,000 US dollars, with travel to and from San Francisco and daily meals provided. Research scope covers how advanced AI may reshape social, economic, geopolitical and legal systems and how institutions should respond, including the distribution of wealth and power, developer accountability, and state technological competition. Fellows work autonomously while accessing CAIS expertise and networks, and expected outputs include blog posts, papers, theoretical models or lecture series. The documented application deadline was 24 March 2026 at 11:59 PM PDT and that cohort is closed. Confirm the next cycle's dates, stipend and eligibility at safe.ai/fellowship before preparing an application. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.
The current listing shows A stipend of 25,000 US dollars for a three-month fellowship. amount_min and amount_max are both set to 25,000 because CAIS publishes a single flat stipend with no tiers, no range and no negotiation. Two non-cash components add to the effective value and are worth counting: travel to and from San Francisco is covered, and daily meals are provided during the fellowship. There is no institutional overhead component, since this is a personal fellowship paid to the individual rather than a grant to a home institution - academics on 12-month appointments should check with their institution how a summer fellowship stipend interacts with existing salary before committing. Verify award ceilings, matching requirements, and allowable costs in the official notice.
The published deadline was March 25, 2026, which has passed. Check the official notice for any future application windows before investing time in a proposal.

The AI Safety Policy Entrepreneurship Fellowship is FAS's route for turning technical and domain expertise into frontier AI safety policy that actually moves. It is a part-time hybrid programme running 30 September 2026 to 28 February 2027, with applications due 7 September 2026, and it pays a USD 5,000 stipend plus up to USD 1,000 as a merit award. Fellows commit roughly five hours a week to developing a policy memo on a specific AI safety challenge, attend training sessions, join an in-person retreat in California from 4 to 7 November 2026, and present at a capstone event in Washington DC during the week of 22 February 2027. The design target is explicit and unusual: it recruits early- to mid-career professionals who have limited direct public policy experience but deep expertise elsewhere - technical AI research, academia, think tanks, civil society, industry, law, cybersecurity and national security - and teaches them the mechanics of getting an idea adopted. Selection weighs clear understanding of AI governance challenges, concrete implementation-oriented solutions rather than broad principles, awareness of which stakeholders must be moved, and a credible commitment to translating expertise into policy outcomes. Because the stipend is modest and the time commitment part-time, this is designed to sit alongside an existing job rather than replace one.
The Climate Change AI Innovation Grants program supports projects that address research and deployment challenges in climate change mitigation, adaptation, and climate science by leveraging AI and machine learning, while also creating publicly available datasets and tools to catalyze further work. The program enables key partnerships that accelerate the research-to-deployment cycle, creating synergies between academic researchers, nonprofits, startups and other companies, and governmental or intergovernmental organizations. Funded by the Quadrature Climate Foundation, Schmidt Futures, and Google DeepMind, with Future Earth serving as fiscal sponsor, this is one of the few dedicated grant programs specifically targeting the intersection of AI/ML and climate change. Projects typically involve climate modeling, weather prediction, emissions monitoring, energy optimization, biodiversity monitoring, and other environmental applications of machine learning. The 2026 competition opens with a full proposal deadline of September 15, 2026. The program has grown steadily since its inception, funding 23 projects to date across diverse climate domains and geographies.
The Climate Change AI Innovation Grants program supports catalytic projects using AI and machine learning for climate action, funding research and deployment challenges in climate change mitigation, adaptation, and climate science. Projects must create publicly available datasets and tools as digital public goods, and release open-source code. The program builds partnerships between academic researchers, non-profits, startups, companies, and governmental organizations to accelerate the research-to-deployment cycle. Past funded projects span climate modeling, emissions monitoring, renewable energy optimization, and disaster prediction across all continents.
The FY2026 Bus Safety, Accessibility, and Innovation Research Program closes September 28. Universities, agencies, and startups are all eligible to lead — but every team must include a transit vehicle manufacturer in a prominent role, and FTA already cancelled a nearly identical NOFO in 2024 without making a single award.

Purpose Area 7 is gone this cycle, the two-step Grants.gov and JustGrants deadlines are a week apart, and the applicants who lose usually lose on the structure of the request, not the need.
